NVIDIA Drivers for Slackware 8.0

[jrbush82]

I was able to run make and install for the NVIDIA_GLX drivers, then when I got to the NVIDIA_kernel drivers, I got this error:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver
/lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver: unresolved symbol __global_cli
/lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver: unresolved symbol tqueue_lock
/lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver: unresolved symbol __global_save_flags
/lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver: unresolved symbol __global_restore_flags
/lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver failed
/lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video/NVdriver: insmod NVdriver failed
make: *** [package-install] Error 255

anybody have any idea what it could mean?
/lib/modules/2.4.5/kernel/video doesn't exist either.

Thanks,
Jason

Just set up a Slackware box using a Riva TNT2 card, so I'll try the NVIDIA drivers later and see if I have the same problems.
