My graphics card is similar to yours and I was able to compile theKris55555 wrote: 3. Several times I tried to compile the nvidia driver (Used the latest getnvidia), but always fail, always receive error messages about bad paths or lack directories. Is there or will there be a version nvidia driver to the kernel k.3.12.6(i686)* ? in the file .pet or .sfs? I have NVIDIA Corporation card GF218 [GeForce GF 220].
proprietary nvidia driver for it.
I have devx-6.0.5-tahr.pet,kernel_src-3.12.6-patched.pet,
linux_kernel-3.12.6-nopae-aufs-squashfsbuiltin-i486-quirky6.pet
installed and I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.119.run proprietary driver from the
nvidia web site.
You need to exit to the prompt and enter "sh
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.119.run" no quotes, it will prompt saying that
the nouveau driver is installed and ask if you want the installer to
try to remove it, choose yes then reboot.
After rebooting and back at the prompt do
"sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.119.run" again.
It will now show an error message about gcc version mismatch and ask
if you want to abort, say no and it will compile the driver, when it
has finished it will ask if you want to update the xorg.conf
automatically, say yes and when you are back at the prompt reboot.
After rebooting the proprietary driver will be working.

well compiling the driver on a usb 2.0 flash drive would work.
