nV News Forums - GeForce 6600 for Suse 10 IA32 HELP HELP

I have battled, with out success, with my Geforce 6600, trying to install the driver. I have a 17" wide screen on a Toshiba Laptop (Toshiba Qosmio). I start Suse 10 and go to runlevel 3 and try

1)

Using YOU to automatically update the driver. YOU goes through and does the download/update and installation without any problems/complaints. But when it finishes I do not have the "1.0-8178" driver installed. My 3D accelation is still inactive (disabled and can't be changed). Trying to force SAX to have any screen resoulution higher than 1024X768@60Hz will cause startx to fail. Can only get startx to start in a mode equal to 1024X768@60Hz or lower, with no 3D accelaration. FAILS FAILS FAILS

2)

The second approach also FAILS FAILS FAILS as detailed below

I try the manual approach using nvidia-installer (runlevel 3) and the following is my install log

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 1.0-
7676). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-8178), the existing
driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no' will a
bort installation) (Answer: Yes)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
-> Performing CC test with CC="cc".
-> Kernel source path: '/usr/src/linux'
