Hi
I'm trying to install Nvidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run) on Acer Aspire 5520 laptop, GeForce 7000M graphics (Ubuntu 8.04).
After entering runlevel 3 and running the following:
# sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run
it wants to compile a kernel interface, but at the end returns the error:
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module
Please help as I can't change resolution greater than 800x600.
