Just got Debian Lenny up and runnning last night, having a few headaches mainly
because I'm just not used to it.
1st off, I _did_ see Lennart's howto on installing the NVidia drivers the
'debian way', and I understand the reasoning for using that method, however I
would like to, if possible, use the latest drivers available from NVidia.
I am at the point now where I've got the appropriate headers for my kernel
installed, but when I run the NVidia installer I get a message that the GCC
used to compile my kernel is not the same as the currently installed kernel,
and that the 2.6 kernel will reject modules built with a GCC that doesn't match.
Anyone else ran into this and/or have any sol'ns for this?
