I'm a Newbie....

I did try everything on this forum , i'm still getting errors.

last thing i did was NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191 compile or make...

I allso tried a newer version file: NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363

this is the uotput:

Please help....

Have you tried the latest driver the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run? It will compile the drivers and install them by running the script you can get it here.

Thanks for your fast replay...

I did try NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run but still got error.
Error: No precompiled kernel found, and that it's going to try to download one, then error no precompiled kernel found, then progress bar building kernel then a error Error building NVIDIA kernel .....

What is the exact error you get? Also you should just before you compile export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 and check to make sure the kernel headers are linked to the /usr/src/linux directory what it looks like on my machine:

[05:29 PM Wed Nov 12: stephen @ ~]
>$ ll /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     src            37 2003-10-20 05:07 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.22.031019

Yours would of course be linked to the kernel headers you have.

this is the eoor when i do a make install

export cc=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95

make: *** [nv.o] Error 1

And when i run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run i get an error's saying: Precompiled Kernel not found. then i hit ok, then comes an error saying: Error building NVIDIA drivers.
