Some distributions have the option of installing a 64-bit kernel for use with all 32-bit userspace programs.
This configuration is not supported by the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver.
If you try to install the 64-bit driver package on such a system, you will receive an error like the following:
./nvidia-installer: No such file or directory
nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread?s=ce7172da527094e880b7e22020852671&t=72490#2
The 5500M GT. the newest driver I found supporting it is 390.87, but I am happy with any driver that supports it and can at least use shader model 2.
... I can post a detailed error message in some days in case you are interested.I think that would be preferable to people guessing why it won't compile. :)

Hello Alligadi
First, I've found that nvidia-config can fail to create a Xorg.conf file correctly because of missing dependencies without giving any indication that it failed. So I'm wondering if you attempted to create an Xorg.conf file using your current installation, or did you attempt to use my script provided below to install all required components..?
Secondly, please confirm this notebook has only an Nvidia discreet graphics chip? I'm thinking that maybe you have a hybrid which includes an i915 chip which may be leading to the confusion?
You could also try creating a basic Xorg.conf using Xorg -configure as root, then simply change the driver name to "Nvidia"Code: [Select]Xorg -configure
mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
then edit this section to add Nvidia
"Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "Nvidia"
ThenCode: [Select]startx
