Alright, basically I need to install my graphics driver. Simple enough. Just a usual
sudo sh gfxdrv.run
Nah, gotta kill X first.
I’m running openSUSE 10.1 (or what ever the most recent version is)
I have a compaq 8710w laptop with a Quadro FX 1600m
I downloaded the most recent 64 bit drivers (yes im using openSUSE 64) from the nvidia website
To install my drivers, I have been editing my inittab file and setting default boot to 3
sudo edit /etc/inittab
*esq*
:wq
sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now
When I reboot, I cd to Desktop of my username
then
sudo sh nameofdrivers.run
It begins the install, but failed because I didnt have GCC installed. So i installed GCC and now I get the following error (and yes, I am compiling a kernel interface at time of install)
The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source path '/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/build' is incorrect. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on red had 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 have to speficy the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option
What do I need to do now to get the kernel source files where they’re supposed to be?
I gotta get these graphics drivers installed and the default ones fail, and the third party package is crap… :-\
Any help would be greatly appreciated
