Shouldn't you've installed the kernel-headers for this ??
(Or are they already installed in the new versions ?)
Download:
As for now, the latest driver:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...6-1.0-4349.run
As root:
"export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95"
cd into the NVIDIA file directory
"sh /NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run"
Edit this file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Remove the following lines:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
And add the following line under section Module (if it's not there):
Load "glx"
Finally change:
Driver "nv"
to:
Driver "nvidia"
Edit this file /etc/modules.conf
Add this line:
alias char-major-195 nvidia
Edit this file /etc/modutils/aliases
Add this line:
alias char-major-195 nvidia
Finsihed. Reboot.

either you don't need them or they are allready there in version 3.1 and above.
lars, thank you very much for the help; it saved me time.
One minor comment, however:
You should not edit /etc/modules.conf directly, as stated in the file's header. Executing "update-modules" after editing /etc/modutils/aliases is sufficient. That's the Debian way. ;)Originally Posted by lars
BTW, if one does not mind the risk of breaking a fresh HD install, the following snippet automates lars' NVIDIA quick install. I called it "install_nvidia_drivers.sh". It worked when I ran it on a Knoppix 2003-04-18 DE from HD.
If your host is connected to a LAN, there are a couple of glitches knx-hdinstall is not aware of. The DNS and MTA configurations are incomplete and thus have to be renewed, and the users root and knoppix lack a .profile or .bash_profile in their home directories. The text editor nano, which I happen to like and which is present in Debian woody, is missing. I have a script that addresses these issues, too, since I'm updating my Knoppix installation rather frequently. :)Code:#!/bin/sh if [ "$UID" -ne 0 ]; then echo "Error: this script must run as superuser!" exit 1 fi export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 STARTDIR="`pwd`" URI=http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4349/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run FILE=$STARTDIR/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run [ -f $FILE ] || wget $URI chmod 755 $FILE && $FILE FILE=/etc/modutils/aliases cp $FILE $FILE.bak echo -e "\n# `date -Iseconds` added by install_nvidia_sh\nalias char-major-195 nvidia" \ >>$FILE update-modules FILE=/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 cp $FILE $FILE.bak sed -e "s/Load.*\"dri\"/#Load \"dri\"/; \ s/Load.*\"GLcore\"/#Load \"GLcore\"/; \ s/Driver.*\"nv\"/Driver \"nvidia\"/;" \ "$FILE.bak" >$FILE exit 0
Thanks for the info, made it really simple to get the drivers installed.
Forgive the ignorance. I am a laptop user and these directions work great for x, but in the consol it semi messed up. Everything is viewable but not easily. It does not appear to be an issue with refresh rates from my experiece.
Thanks for any possible help.
A quick note. A newer version of the nvidia drivers (1.0.4363) have been released. Update version numbers as needed for the directory and files. The script works very well overall and seriously should be added into Knoppix.
I have tried several times to install the Nvidia drivers on Knoppix 3.2 (2003-07-25 Beta) with Kernel 2.4.21-xfs, but always without success. Also after following the instructions in this thread I still received the same error messages in the XFree86.0.log (Screen(s) found, but no usable configuration). Finally the solution was just to assign an IRQ to my Nvidia card. Normally I don't because lack of free IRQ's (pretty much cards in my machine + USB port in use) and Windows or DOS don't care about that. Now the card works under Linux even when I had to disable my parallel port for this moment to free an IRQ (one of my two serial ports is already disabled ).
