I downloaded the nvidia kernel and the glx from nvidia's site, but when I tried to build the kernel with 'make install' it gave me an unresolved symbol error. When i tried 'insmod NVdriver' I got several unresolved errors. I read on some other message board that my problem has something to do with my linux kernel version but I am not quite sure what to do to get it to work. Any suggestions?

Ok, We'll need some more info to be able to help you out. Firstly, what kernel version and distro are you using? I've found the SRPMs to work nicely (but the tar.gz should be ok too). Do you NEED to compile, or is there a binary RPM for your kernel/distro?

My kernel version is 2.4.18bigmem and my distro is Red Hat 7.3 For some reason I did not try the binary RPM. I will try those and see if they work. Thanks

Other topic:
Ive had a problem with Nvidia drivers. On my computer, I had a Nvidia GeForce 9400 card and had recently gotten updated driver for it, and thats when my problems began. It would at random cause my computer to shut down. I tried uninstalling driver and putting it back in I tried resetting the card I tried temperature scanning software to see if it was overheating, etc. I checked all fans, and made sure the inside was clean etc. nothing. problem still happened.

Well I have a new computer and AMD ANthlon 2.6 dual core and I just put in a Nvidia geforce 9800 GT cause it runs my games well and is affordable. Made sure to have current drives and tah dah same thing is happening on my perfect NEW computer...

Any suggestions?
