This is the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.44.graphics driver.

Only for lucid based puppies. These will not work for lighthouse.! or probably any other puppy.
I pinched the pinstall & punstall scripts from an official lucid driver out of the PPM, so thankyou to who ever created those.

These drivers are kernel specific. To find out which kernel you have, go to the menu / system / hardinfo hardware information then click on the 'operating system' option.

This is for kernel 2.6.33.2 (various lucid puppy's) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GNUFZLWN 27.15mb MD5 225d75dd0e29176d3e594ed90668d2fc

This is for kernel 2.6.38.2 (experimental icepuppy & experimental lucid 525) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CQICIYZY 27.22mb

Let me now if you have any problems with them.

Hello,
Any chance you could compile this driver on 2.6.38.4??
Nvidia users on Lupen and Icepuppy and other 2.6.38.4 Pups would be very appreciative, Im sure..
Thx..
Jay..

I had also tried to use various Nvidia installers that support my Nvidia GeForce 6150SE graphics card for the 2.6.38.4 kernel used in Lupen-0.1.
I kept getting error messages of the kernel not being the right one or that the compiler used to make the kernel was too old or the wrong one.
Also, I had a bunch of compiler errors in the /var/nvidia-install.log.
So I do not know if it will be possible to get a working driver for that puppy version.
When it was built, Puppylvr said he changed version numbers part way through the build among other things.

I have installed the factory drivers on other versions of Puppy with no problem so I am not a stranger to it.

Also, I just wanted to get the factory driver installed so I would be able to use Compiz with xfce4 to get those graphic effects.

It is no biggie though.

I think links to them can be found in the beginning of the Lupen thread.
It is located at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67910.

A direct link to the devx file is http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/puppyluvr/lupu_devx_539.sfs.

And a direct link to the kernel source is http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/Kernel_sources/kernel_src-2.6.38.4-lupe22.sfs.

That is the best I can do for you for now.

If you do get an Nvidia driver complied for Lupen, please PM me with a link to where I can get it.
Thank you in advance!

I've been looking all over for this download. Of course Mega is gone. I need the GTX570 drive for 2.6.33.2
Thanks

[666philb]

hi vasa.... which puppy are you using?

[vaza]

Lucid 528.004
2.6.33.2
Thanks for the quick reply

[666philb]

i think that the driver from quick-pet should work for that, have you tried it?
