nvidia drivers

During the installation the drivers were going to do something to help me recompile my kernel but then said that I was missing modheaders.h?  How do I fix my headers so the install will work?

I'm sorry I don't have the complete error message.. don't know how to save information when I'm not in X and I couldn't find a pencil..

I am using 2.5.70 compiiled with gcc3.3 so I assume it's not the same problem as the other nvidia problem post.

I'm proud of myself.. think i've posted about 20 questions today..

Re: nvidia drivers

How do you patch?  I assume I should installed the nvidia drivers available on pacman first?

Re: nvidia drivers

I've gotten a lot farther.. the patch seemed to work.  The problem now is when I try and `make` the file..

It errors out saying:  depmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

This is the same error when I try and type lsmod (started after install 2.5.70 kernel).  Someone suggested installing modules-init-tools but that didn't seem to help.

Also, when I press CTRL-ALT-F1 it mentions something about QFILES not found. 

Thanks for any help!
