Hi all,
I have to revive an old thing as I came to the same point:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/installing-legacy-nvidia-driver-geforce4-mx420#post-3774
My new private, special enemy is this GeForce 7100 FX graphic card. I run the driver nv, but for good sport I wanted to try the non-free driver of Jozee:
nvidia-173xx-173.14.25_2.6.30.6.tazpkg
To install it via tazpkg was no problem. But it did not effect in any respect.
With lsmod it did not appear, after depmod -a it did not appear. So what?
I tried to download another driver from the Nvidia-support-page
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.31-pkg1.run
- this wants apparently to compile a new kernel. I followed the different error messages step by step, installed the necessary tools - and it always ends there were once ertw1 came to:
,,I'm following this guide http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:nvidia to install legacy nvidia drivers from the nvidia website to support my Geforce4 MX420 card. Everything goes fine till this step:
make oldconfig && make prepare
At this point I get an error: no rule to make target "oldconfig"
Gentlemen: what to do now?
