    Looks like you don't have your kernel headers installed. I'm not sure why that would be if you've installed using a standard Knoppix 3.1 CD.

    First check which kernel version you are using by typing the following within a shell:
    Code:
    cat /proc/version
    THEN download the appropriate headers using apt-get. For example, I'm running the 2.4.20 kernel so I would type:
    Code:
    apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.20
    IF you get some kind of "Couldn't find package" error, then instead type:
    Code:
    apt-get install kernel-headers
    This will give you a list of the available kernel header packages for download.

    NOW you need to creat a symlink to where the Nvidia makefile is looking. For my example, I would type:
    Code:
    ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.20 /usr/src/linux
    You after completing these steps you should be able to make install the Nvidia drivers.

    Groovy.

    If you wouldn't mind, could you edit your previous post and get rid of all that text? This scrolling is killing me

    You should still be able to cat /proc/version as I said above to get your kernel version and then download the correct ones following the instructions I laid out.

    If you get stuck on one of the steps, then post your problem here and I'm sure we can help you through it.

    Good luck! The Nvidia drivers are definately worth the work. KDE is infinately cleaner-looking AND I can now run Unreal Tournament and Quake 3

    Just use this:

    Code:
    apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.19
    In other words, less the -kkde at the end. This SHOULD work, though if it doesn't don't worry because you'll just get a compile error and no changes will be made.

    I have some news to report on the TV out option.

    I have gotten the geforce4 ti 4200 i have to work with TV out, with a few problems... The only one I need help with is if i use the TV out, my monitor, a flat panel, turns off, and ONLY the TV shows a picture.

    Here is a link to the Nvidia Readme :http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-4191/README

    and here is a copy of the relevent /etc/X11/XFreeConfig-4 file...( I am omitting the portions that are related to the fact that it is a knoppix install, i.e. the extra mice and such....and only showing what I BELIEVE is relevent....)



    #added follows
    Option "TwinView"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP,TV"
    Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
    Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
    Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
    Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
    Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
    Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,800x600"
    #above added

    Hi, I am using knoppix 3.2, and Here is what I get:
    uname -r = 2.4.20-xfs

    apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.20
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.4.20

    apt-get install kernel-headers
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers


    Ideas what to try next?

    HDD install

    I did the same thing that Superstoned did!

    I just started the same script, and it downloaded teh "hdd" version,
    and then it did all the apt-get downloading stuff, compiled it for me,
    modified my Xfree86 config file and switched back to KDE!

    THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!

    And plus my sound card kept on giving me errors [SB Audigy] and after this script [My card is a ASUS GeForce FX 5600] THE SOUND started working too!

    Definetly worth a try!

    http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4016

    just download it, put it in /usr/local/bin, the write in this code :

    Code:
    cdmod +x nvidia-install.sh
    (filename may varie)

    and then CTRL+ALT+F1

    then
    Code:
    nivida-install.sh
    thats it! Let the script do its work!

    AMAZING!
