Need driver.pet for Geforce MX card (Solved)

[Griot]

Hi all! I've tried to build driver using shinobar's getnvidia-1.0.pet, devx_precise 5.7.1.sfs, kernel_src-3.9.11.-patched.sfs (from http://bkhome.org/sources/kernel-3.9.11/) and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run but had no luck. I'm getting the following log report:

Using built-in stream user interface

ERROR: The kernel header file
       '/lib/modules/3.9.11/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist.  The
       most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in
       '/lib/modules/3.9.11/build' have not been configured.

Also, I tried with shinobar's nvidia-glx--96.43.23.-k3.2.48.pet/.sfs but there's info from NVIDIA X Server saying "The NVIDIA X driver is found, but lacking the module for the current kernel 3.9.11."
I'd like to know is there a different solution for this? Thanx!

P.S. CatDude, I'm sorry. I've made a total mess om this. I think Flash is going to ban my a#$ for good!

Pending: erase...

Dude, do you want a driver or not
If the answer is Yes, then i will attempt to build one for you,
otherwise it will save me pissing about digging out a suitable machine on which to build it.

CatDude

P.S
if the answer is Yes, then please repost the details so that i know what you need
.

Hello Griot

Thanks, i'll give it a crack.

...I think Flash is going to ban my a#$ for good!

No he wont

Hello,
You need the kernel source headers and devx both installed
to compile a driver.
And it must be compiled against a specific kernel.
I have few gforce drivers built against Puppy kernels.
The PPM has a few as well I think.

[Griot]

Thanx for chiming in. CatDude is all-over it at the moment and I hope for the best. Da#% drivers!

Hi

OK, after quite some time (and issues) i eventually have a package for you to test.

Before attempting to use this package, please make a backup of your savefile.
Use entirely at your own risk !

• nvidia-legacy96-driver-96.43.23-k3.9.11.pet
  nvidia-legacy96-driver-96.43.23-k3.9.11.pet.md5.txt

Glxgears output:

Code: Select all

# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
8260 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1649.363 FPS
8040 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1604.461 FPS
8340 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1665.722 FPS
8200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1638.439 FPS
8360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1669.007 FPS
8180 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1634.547 FPS

Hope it works for you.
CatDude

EDIT:
Before installing the dotpet, make sure that the nouveau driver is nowhere to be seen.
Open a console/terminal and run lsmod
if you see mention of it do rmmod nouveau

Happy to have helped you mate, and so glad to see that it is working for you.

CatDude: if it isn't too much trouble, could you make me one?
I can get you any info you need.

Hi

@ Glorfindel

CatDude: if it isn't too much trouble, could you make me one?

That depends.

...I can get you any info you need.

That would be very helpful as my crystal ball is broken.

I need to know exactly which Puppy version you are using,
preferably a link to the ISO image you downloaded.

Could you also provide details on your graphics card too.

Terrible warranty on them.
