Driver Installation 7. Select OK to compile a kernel interface. If a kernel interface cannot be downloaded, either because the FTP site cannot be reached or because one is not provided, the installer will check your system for the required kernel sources and compile the interface for you. You must have the source code for your kernel installed for compilation to work. On most systems this means that you will need to locate and install the correct kernel source, kernel headers or kernel development package. Linking of the kernel interface (in the case that the interface downloaded or compiled at installation) required you to have a linker installed on your system. The linker, usually /usr/bin/ld, is part of the binutils package. If a precompiled kernel interface is not found, you must install a linker prior to installing the NVIDIA driver. 8. Run nvidia-xconfig utility. nvidia-xconfig will find the X configuration file and modify it to use the NVIDIA X driver. In most cases, you can answer Yes when the installer asks if it should run it. If you need to reconfigure your X server later, you can run nvidia-xconfig again from a terminal. nvidia-xconfig will make a backup copy of your configuration file before modifying it. 19
