I have a GeForce3 and Debian 2.2r3 (with kernel 2.4.10). I downloaded the drivers off of nVidia's web site, but when I do 'make install' on the kernel module it dies when it comes to inserting the module. It says that modprobe can't locate the driver. I've tried install it with 'make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include" too, but still nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any help you can provide.

make sure that u:
1. have not just headers for you kernel in the src dir
2. the right src for your kernel meaning don't use different kernel src files.
Also what is the error that u get when u make SYSinclude . . .

Did you compile the kernel with module support even if you don't use them? When I tried to install the drivers on a vanilla install I got some kind of problem with modules, so I recompiled the kernel with all sorts of module support thingies (but I wouldn't actually use modules as they are the devil) and they install just fine.
