I hope some one get misericordy and help me.
I tried this howto founded in this forum:
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6754
but for me dont work if i change Identifier "Card0" get me a error like variable not fonded and if i dont change it i make startx and the my monitor get black and i only can reboot.
First problem apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.22-xfs <---file dont exist.
Well i got this headers
apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.22-1-386 2.4.22-3
them i did this
export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.22/usr/src/linux
etc/init.d/kdm stop
sh NVIDIA............................run
cd /etc
mcedit modules i added nvidia
cd /etc/X11
mcedit XF86Config-4
erase GLcore and dri
glx was in. and changued nv by nvidia
update-modules
and same problem startx and.. rebooting.

Try the nvidia install scripts located here.
More info on knoppix with nvidia cards can be found herehttp://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...?p=31765#31765
This is the way I did it:-
Download driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html
Boot into console (non graphical mode) (I think this step is important. X cannot be running.)
Run the downloaded script
Change XF86Config-4 as instructed
At one stage, the script will compile the kernel. Change my system to boot back into graphical mode and everything works.
And the Original Poster my want to relink the kernel headers to the proper ones that should already be included I see he has changed it in the post above.
I remove the kernel-headers-2.4.22-1-386 2.4.22-3
and get kernel-headers-2.4.22-xfs
I tried the script install (i tried all scripts) and i already have the same problem...
I dont know what im doing bad.
When you got the kernel headers you made the proper symbolic link right? eg ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.22-xfs /usr/src/linuxOriginally Posted by Malo
Then from a console login from the menu item on the kde login screen login as normal user the use su to become root. Next /etc/init.d/kdm stop. Then change to the directory with the Nvidia installer and use export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 or export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 then run the installer and decline the offer to go to the nvidia site to get a precompiled version and accept the offer to compile watch it compile and make sure you have made the proper changes in the XF86Config-4 and then /etc/init.d/kdm restart and you ashould have a Nvidia splash screen when starting kdm. If this does not work can you post any errors and the XF86Config-4 file that you are using.
Yes i did;
cd /usr/src/
ln -s kernel-headers-2.4.22-xfs linux
my XF86Config-4:

Sorry I made a mistake there I did a fresh install on my spare computer and the kernel headers are in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 directory so the line would be ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 /usr/src/linux to link the kernel headers and I notice that I missed the file /etc/modutils/aliases as well. You should have the line:Originally Posted by Malo
In the file and still as root you should run update-modules to update the modules.conf you may have to reboot for this to be detected.Code:alias char-major-195 nvidia
Another thing I noticed while playing around is that the
Directories do not exist on the system so you may want to comment out these as well and you may want to move the Type1 line down to the bottom of the fonts paths other than that the file look fine. Again sorry for the wrong information and incomplete post.Code:FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/defoma/CID" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/defoma/TrueType"
Thanx for helps but..
Fresh install and whitout kdm start always start in text mode.
export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 /usr/src/linux
cd /home/knoppix/Drivers
sh NVIDIA..........run
update-modules
cd /etc/modules/
mcedit aliases
alias char-mayor-195-nvidia is in so i dont make any modification.
cd /etc/X11
mcedit XF86Config-4
# Load "GLcore"
# Load "dri"
Load "nvidia"
