I've installed X 7.0/7.1 and use the Nvidia card from nvidia(7174). You'll have to install libdrm and Mesa, and install the nvidia driver from source over it. Install libdrm just like in the book, install mesa, but not with the command make linux-dri but with something like make linux-x86 (a complete list is in the Makefile) because nvidia cards have their own Direct Rendering Interface (that DRI isn't it?) When everything is installed replace the driver nv with the nvidia in the xorg.conf, and follow the README in the nvidia-*/usr/src/nv and look what the Makefile in the nvidia-* directory does. Stef BTW I've read somewhere that nvidia in future will stop using their own DRI thing and planning to use the opensource one. But I'm not sure. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
