Thread: Intalling Nvidia's drivers without compiling my own kernel

    Intalling Nvidia's drivers without compiling my own kernel

    Is it something that can be done? I'm really tired to recompile kernels myself, and I would like to use Debian's kernel-image packages. However, I can't install the nvidia drivers, so is there anything you guys can suggest?

    nvidia provides precompiled binaries for many distros vendor kernels and the vanilla kernel. On my arch Linux setup whihc runs on a completely vanilla 2.6.8.1 kernel all it took was running the installer.
