Hi I have been using the nvidia binary drivers NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.25-pkg2.run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.30-pkg2.run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.31-pkg2.run
on my desktop running sid. Recently with the upgrade to linux kernel linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 I found that I had difficulty compiling nvidia drivers against 3.x kernels and additionally I found that the current stable and beta nvidia drivers wont run with the current sid xorg version 1.11 I have tried to go back to the older stable kernel linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 but when I try to compile I find that the gcc-4.3 that was used to compile the kernel which is neccessary to compile the nvidia drivers against the linux-headers linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common has been removed from sid since it conflicts with libgcc1. I guess I have to compile my own kernel 2.6.32 kernel from source using a more recent gcc. but what to do about the xorg version and not running against 1.11? unfortunately kernel.org is down. where can i get the older kernel sources. any other ideas?
