So I think that this may be the cause of all my problems in getting the nvidia drivers. Which will hopefully solve my possitioning problem :)
It's interesting that they would drop support for older video cards in newer drivers. But will see. So now to figure out what lagacy driver to get *sigh* Ok well I've downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run which as per its readme file supports my card.
Yet durring installation I get the same error that it does not support it and to use a legacy driver.
I also get an error about nvidia.ko cannot be compiled because of an invalid kernel-source specified. I used both the sym link /usr/src/linux and the direct path /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15/
I think I'm gonna start crying :P
Make sure that you also (as root):
cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make prepare-all
before trying to compile the Nvidia driver.
Interesting. I've never had to do this. Is this necessary only because of the legacy driver involved? Cheers. -- All answers questioned here.
