[for some reason mlmmj rejected this mail last night - trying again] [Stefan (was in CC): thanks for the answer, I'll reply later.] Hello, I just updated from 11.3 to factory and wanted to compile the nvidia drivers. However, I get (nvidia-installer.log): ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.37-rc7-desktop/source'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option. Google pointed me to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142794 but even with the patch from there I get the same error message. Can someone give me a hint how I can compile the nvidia driver on Factory? (I'll also accept a link to a RPM of course ;-) My graphics card is a GeForce 8600M GS, and the nvidia website gave me NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run for download. BTW: I'm using a dualhead setup (laptop display + external monitor), and the nv and nouveau drivers don't do what they should :-( - nv only activates the external monitor, and I can't activate the laptop display - at least in kcontrol's monitor setup (Interestingly I was able to setup both screens when I booted a 11.3 live DVD some days ago. Not sure if it is a regression or if the existence of the old xorg.conf hurts somehow) - nouveau starts in clone mode, but hangs at logout (only SysRQ keys work) (Are those issues worth bugreports, or it is already known stuff?)

Naja das ist hier ziehmlich OT aber ich werde trotzdem mal meinen Senf hinzufügen. Senf? Beleidige nicht diese tolle Gewürzpaste, ja. ;-) [> "mrgates" und Matthias Houdek in suse-linux]
