    Re: HOWTO: Latest NVIDIA drivers

    Just wanted to drop in and let you know I got it all working. I spoke to some nvidia guys at their forum and they said to use a rmmod nvidia and then reload the driver. That, as simple as it sounds, did the trick....

    I did an aptitude and it still shows several different versions of nvidia software...

    That is correct. If you have a 6600Gt you should be able to just load up the easy way and it will work fine.

    Only 7800 series cards will need the latest driver. Hopefully they will drop a new driver soon and make support alot better.

    Re: HOWTO: Latest NVIDIA drivers

    I try to install driver from nvidia website and it tells me that my kernel was compiled using gcc-3.4 and I have gcc-4.0. I have both installed and before I "sh" I do the "CC=3.4" and "expot CC".
    should I remove the gcc-4.0 or something. I am stuck.
    I also cannot find the "readme file" on the website.
    How do I over come this problem.

    I can install nvidia-glx from synaptic and I get 3-d working.

    But I am trying to do "poofy hair guys" xcomposite thing for shadowing and transparency. Doesn't seem to work with nvidia-glx and his how-to say's "official nvidia drivers" need to be installed.

    Ok, if "CC=gcc-3.4" "export CC" didn't work for you, try this then (I'm borrowing it from one of Arnav's howtos):


    sudo passwd root
    and set the root password if u already dont have one
    now do the following:

    su
    CC=gcc-3.4
    export CC
    exit
    CC=gcc-3.4
    export CC
    And then run the installer as usual.

    Tell me if it works
