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 I've also downloaded 1.0-6111 which I remember using a while back successfully with this card. It failed. And the error for it is beyond me: make[4]: *** [/tmp/selfgz8388/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.o ] Error 1 make[3]: *** [_module_/tmp/selfgz8388/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1/usr/src /nv] Error 2 make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2 NVIDIA: left KBUILD. nvidia.ko failed to build! make[1]: *** [module] Error 1 make: *** [module] Error 2 -> Error. ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. I think I may be back to one of my original fixes. Buy a newer nvidia card. I'de like to think I'm not new to linux but man this is trying me. -- Regards, Shawn Holland
