Hello, Hi. There are two nVidia drivers available at the nVidia website: one version is for "newer" cards and the second is for "legacy" cards. In my case, my GeForce 3 Ti200 is considered "legacy".
There are two legacy drivers ( 1.0-71xx, 1.0-96xx), and latest one (1.0-97xx), which is in opt.
In Crux 2.2, I always manually downloaded the latest LEGACY driver and installed it manually. This worked every time.
You could rename opt/nvidia port to nvidia-legacy, modify it (changing version is all that you need to do, iirc), and install that way.That's what I do for my graphics card (GF4 MX440, driver 1.0-9631) Altough 71xx driver could need patching to compile with newer kernels, as you discovered :) Pedja -- Was it worth it?
