Video card

[joel]

Well, I went and bought a GforceFX 5200. It is a 128MB DDR AGP card. I 
know nothing abut AGP.
I put the card into my computer (an updated Caldera 2.4), took some 
guesses with the BIOS (made the aperture 128 and enabled read and write, 
whatever that is in the AGP setup section), and rebooted. The bios 
recognized the card at boot. But, X won't start.

I went to the Nvidia page and got the linuxia32 driver. When I ran it, 
it complained that it had to compile a kernel interface, and tried to do 
it, but then complained that the compiler used for the kernel was not 
the same compiler I have now installed .
It suggested I set IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH to get by this problem.
My problem is now, where do I set this directive? I can't figure out 
where the make'ing is going on so I don't know where the Makefile would be.
(I tried to fiddle with the install script, but that changed the 
checksum, so, after I tweaked  that, I get an md5sum error. Well, time 
to download again.)
Thanks,
Joel
