    Nvidia Driver Install

    I've been trying to get the 3D graphics to work on my SUSE 11.0, i tried installing some of the repositories from Yast but then i'm not able to boot into Suse normally so i'm going to see what happens if i install the driver from Nvidia's website but then i got this message during installation..

    ERROR: The kernel header file
    '/lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.1-default/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does
    not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source
    path '/lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.1-default/build' is incorrect.

    So i can't install it. Is there something else i need to install before this or is there a better way of getting the graphics to work. I have an Nvidia GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT.

    You will need to install the kernel-source and the gc compiler via Yast, since the NVIDIA package must compile the driver for your kernel. Both should be available from the DVD.
