Mandrake Community 10.1 problems

[urielka]

i just installed Mandrake and i tried to install nVida graphic driver(1.0-6111)
and when i tried it say that it need to compile the Nvidia kernel bla bla and it need kernel source package so i do uname -r to see which kernel i have(2.6.8.1-10mdk) and then download the kernel-source package that need for my kernel and the i did restart(by init 6 command) and then it start compile it and when it get to 83% it say "unable to compile bla bla bla see /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for more information" here is my /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file : (it`s a bit large)

so what is the problem(does this driver work with xorg xserver? coz i am using it by default)?

and i tried first with the option to download a precompiled but it say that he didn`t find one

[urielka]

i find this http://www.linuxhelp.net/forums/inde...=ST&f=3&t=4866 it should fix it i will post the rsults but this should be a sticky for get working Nvidia driver on mandrake 10.1(i think it is a problem related to 2.6.8.1 version of the kernel)

[crac]

right, you will find the solution also in this forum ...
