180.44 nvidia debian method works with 2.6.29
A few days ago I tried to use sgfxi to install the nvidia driver using the debian method and I got a message saying that only the beta driver would work with 2.6.29.
Since nvidia 180.22 it has worked for me with my self-compiled 2.6.29 kernels that are basically slh kernels patched with bootsplash, nothing else done. :: Code ::

That was a leftover from the previous beta handling for 2.6.29., plus I hadn't updated 29 to support debian driver install method.
Also added in the new 173xx nvidia-glx-legacy and auto detection of that by sgfxi debian driver installer, and also turned off the warnings about testing since it appears these packages are now back in testing. Back to top |
