Hi, True, and I had an answer from SuSE who are really nice guys (The problem is still to find the correct sources etc.....) : this is what they answered : You'll have to recompile the DRM modules. Don't use the DRM modules which come with the kernel sources, they don't match with the xf86 4.0.2 release. Before recompiling DRM, your kernel sources must be compiled and configured correctly. So we have to recompile 2.4.2 ( sources ? and how ?? ), then recompile DRM, and recompile NVidia drivers which in my opinion will then result with the same error "kernel-module version mismatch" message. The solution might be to revert to 2.4.0, recompile DRM, compile NVidia and then upgrade to 2.4.2. What do you think??? Cheers, Filip. Le Samedi 17 Mars 2001 23:19, Stuart Powell a écrit :
Hello, Filip.
You are the third person I know of to ask theis question in the last couple of weeks. Essentially, we need to know how to get the sourses and includes on our system for the SMP kernel that is installed, since we only seem to have the files for the default, non-SMP, SuSE kernel.
I think it's about time someone from SuSE stepped up to answer this, since no-one else on the list seems to know. There must be someone on the SuSE staff who can answer this.
Bye for now, Stuart.

Hi all,
Trying to install the new nvidia drivers. First I tried the tarballs, then the latest rpm's from nvidia. The error message I get is the following : /lib/modules/2.4.2-64GB-SMP/kernel/video/NVdriver : kernel-module version mismatch. /lib/modules/2.4.2-64GB-SMP/kernel/video/NVdriver was compiled for kernel version 2.4.0 while this is version 2.4.2.-64GB-SMP.
So can someone explain me how he managed to get those drivers working with 2.4.2
Any trick or something I can do to hide the kernel headers ?
TIA, Filip.
