NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 installation with debian/ubuntu

by jtheuer last modified 2008-09-21 18:49

It is a bit tricky to understand the debian packages for the nvidia drivers. Here is how I got the card running!

Make sure that lspci returns:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] (rev c1)
If not, make sure my tutorial also applies to your card. First you have to install the legacy drivers and some build dependencies:
# apt-get install module-assistant gcc nvidia-kernel-common
# m-a update
# m-a prepare
# m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel-legacy-XXxx
