Then you should ask the unofficial nvidia forum. SorryOriginally Posted by idn
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...
So I can do it the easy way if I have a geforce 6600GT?
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.
and I spent four bloody hours trying to do it the hard way(the way I've been told to in another forum) and all I really had to do was six clicks
Very interesting. Thanks.Originally Posted by skwid
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):Originally Posted by rjwood
And then run the installer as usual.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
Tell me if it works
