Hello:
This is what is confusing me. I have done recommended install from the
Mandrake DVD. This installed the NVIDIA drivers for 1.0-3123.1 mdk from the
DVD. In my etc/modules it loads the NVdriver, in etc/X11/XF86Config-4 under
module is Load "usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extension/libglx.so" in the Device
section is Driver "nvidia". When I boot I see the NVIDIA start logo. just
before getting to the KDE desktop. Yet when I install the latest NVIDIA rpms
for 1.4191 for the Mandrake 9.0 it crashes with nvidia driver not found .
What I do not understand is if etc/modules should say nvidia and not NVdriver
and the XF86Config-4 Module should say Load "GLX" and it points to the
libglx.so file why does it appear to work and yet not work when the new rpms
are installed. Should I change the XF86CONFIG-4 Module section and the
etc/module file to nvidia?
Confused.
