Hi Ben. Thanks for your answer.

I tried install linux-headers-2.6.15 (since my vanilla kernel is the
2.6.15-rc5), but apt-get automatically install linux-headers-2.4.27,
why?. The Ubuntu developers don't take care about have a package for the
2.6 kernel headers in Dapper?... humm, i doubt it. In any case, under
Breezy and the same vanilla kernel, the Nvidia installer worked very
fine.

Since i can remember, i ever compile and install my own kernels in all
the Unix like systems i use. Not the kernel the distributor wants but
the one i decide. Ubuntu is not an exception for this, sorry. ;D

In any case, i advice you about a possible bug with glx in Dapper, i
hope.

Thanks, very much.

Regards.

Jose.
