I have installed the kernel26 package then...when I patched the official driver with the patch of www.minion.de in the moment of the install the driver in the system...the "make install" say this...

[root@indev nv]# make install 
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.0/build/Makefile: No existe el fichero o el directorio

Re: problems with the kernel26 package and the nvidia driver

get the full source of kernel26... unpack it into /usr/src/linux-2.6.0

then pacman -S kernel26 again..
edit .config file and commet line 48 out
you might want to add the 'nvidia' module to /etc/rc.conf//

good luck

Re: problems with the kernel26 package and the nvidia driver

The nvidia module for kernel 2.6.0 is nvidia.ko, it should be in /lib/modules/2.6.0/kernel/drivers/video

Have you tried 'rmmod nvida' and then 'modprobe nvida' in a console?
What error messages do you get when trying the above?

Re: problems with the kernel26 package and the nvidia driver

sounds like your patching did not work...were you root when you patched the  driver? do you have the 2.6.0 source in /usr/src/?
