[Crosser]

Hi!

So plz can you tell me where I can download the newest nvidia kernel.

I am usning RedHat Federo core 4... and my grapich card is Geforce 4 440 mx...
And I downloaded the AI32 driver named NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run
I think I can Install the nvidia driver self but I need the kernel to it so plz....


Thx

The nvidia driver is a kernel module which provides for both chipset and graphics cards AFAIK. As it is a kernel module it can and often is compiled into the kernel, I would guess this is what is being suggested. If you install the nvidia driver (ending in .run) you should have all you need. It is probably a better idea to keep it as a module either way.

OK , But how do I install the driver then?

I tryed to install the newest nvidia drivers...
I shutdown the X-server
Logged in as root
And went to the directory there my Nvidiadriver is...
and wrote
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run

And it didn`t work
It stay: No kernel source

Plz I dont want to give up the hope for linux...
after almost 2 weeks it starting to feel abit angry

Sry for my bad english... :P

As I mention in my short Nvidia tutorial, you'll need to have your kernel sources installed along with gcc and make. Fedora Core doesn't ship with the sources for some reason, but they can be added manually. What version of Fedora Core are you using? Here's a tutorial site for the newest, Fedora Core 4:

ok thx for the help...
But the first step it stop :P

1. Make sure you have the kernel-sources, gcc and make packages installed
How do I know if I have the kernel-sources, gcc and the packages installed?

Well, you know for a fact that the kernel sources aren't installed because of the error message you posted earlier. You can tell if you have gcc installed by opening up a console and typing gcc then enter. If something pops up showing you how to use the command, it's installed. The same goes for make.

I go out of GUI mode, init 3 and all that. logged in as root, ran the installer, but then it says i need the kernel, everywhere ive gone everyone says, "Make sure you have the kernel installed!" noone ever says how to get it, where to get it. If anyone feels like saying where it actually is or how ot get it, feel free to say =/.

As I said in the thread above, you can install the kernel sources using the tutorial here:

thats odd cause when i type in gcc then press enter it just says

gcc: no input files

so i've must of installed the wrong gcc....again....

type man gcc for help with gcc
