I am trying to get the Nvidia 304 pach installed but the module you have and my Linux version are not the same I have 3.10.17 , how can I build the module to work with my version.
Thanks in advance

Which version of porteus are you using? Have you tried the three nvidia drivers available? For 64 bit porteus 2.1:

Or maybe more tightly fitted to your question here is an answer, though a little outdated it should still work, see thread nvidia graphic driver, summary of difficulties:

For the application I am running the 64 bit doesn't work, Like I said I am using Kernel version 3.10.17 and the modules have a different Kernel. I will try your other sugestion to see if I can get it to work. Thanks

for nVidia i'm using 'changes-time' to make sure nothing gets missed.

Perhabs you didn't read my question, I know how to write a module, I am speaking about the Nvidia Kernel module, my Kernel and Porteus are not the same and I am not downgrading.

kernel version does not matter. procedure for creating nVidia module is exactly the same and is described in the link i provided.

to the problem:
my guess is that you never updated /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/sources symlinks which should point to your custom kernel sources.
