    Same here.. If I try to install it without DKMS it says 'Unable to build nvidia kernel module'. If I try to install the driver via aptitude like its recommended in Kali Docs, I get an error due to unmet dependencies because the installation of libgl1-nvidia-glx fails. Dpkg returns an error while processing the package with ('--unpack'). Any ideas?

    Hi all. I have problem with Nvidia graphics on kali linux. http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...-on-kali-linux this and all others that I find by google not work on my laptop.
    After installing Nvidia drivers it says: Oh no, something has gone wrong..................................... After this only 2 way, uninstall Nvidia drivers or instal kali again. Of caurse after uninstall it works without 3D graphics. Someone had this problem and fix it?
