hi darren, first you've do download the .src.rpms from nvidia (kernel-driver and glx module) and install them.
they will end up in /usr/src/RPM, so you'll have to cd there and build a fitting set of drivers: ------CUT------ cd /usr/src/RPM rpm -ba SPECS/NVIDIA_kernel.spec rpm -ba SPECS/NVIDIA_GLX.spec ------CUT------ this will give you your own, individualized rpms fitting your current kernel. you will find theM in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/$ARCH/, eg. /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2314.i686.rpm just install the new modules (glx first) and that should be it!!! hope that helps udo On Don, 2002-02-14 at 08:06, Darren King wrote: > I grabbed the nvidia drivers and went to install them.
