Leaves the nvidia route
Downloaded and ran NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.09-pkg1.run (after exit to prompt). This left me with:
ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems,
for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM
installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed,
you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path'
command line option.

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,12965.msg71206.html#msg71206. As recommended, installed linux-3.8.3-api-headers.tcz. Also downloaded scripts create-nvidia-raw and create-nvidia-package.
With headers installed, tried nvidia installer again. Result: exactly the same error.
Script create-nvidia-raw calls nvidia installer and will do a lot of things
with the results of the nvidia installer. So if that prog does not complete, neither will the script.
Already have source for tinycore, but I'm using coreplus. Can I simply point nvidia-installer to the dir that contains source files for tinycore ?
Does anyone have experience with this ? I's getting difficult to see the "fun" instead of the "frustrating"
EditThanks Juanito, your post came in while typing this. Will try that first
Edit2Before blacklisting, booted from cd. Added nouveau-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz to /tmp/tce.optional and tried to load it.
Gave error:
modprobe: can't load module nouveau (kernel.tclocal/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko.gz) unknown symbol in module or unknown parameter
Well, it is no black screen, but don't know what it means either (corrupted ?)
Like Alice keeps getting stranger and stranger ...
@Rich,
Thanks, will try that too.
