Nvidia driver/kernel problem

Belikeabox · 2011-07-20 01:50:04

I'm trying to get my drivers installed and when i try to install the nvidia driver it tells me it failed to build the nvidia kernel module. I looked at the log and i told me to try make oldconfig && make prepare but when i do that is gives me the error "No rule to make target 'missing-syscalls'". Can someone help me please. Thanks

Please post the commands you use to download / install the driver. 'pacman -S nvidia' should be enough (or nvidia-173xx for the legacy driver).

I downloaded the driver from the nvidia website because i need the geforce mx 420 one.

Read the wiki's entry about Nvidia drivers, that should help.

Have you tried the nouveau driver?
