Hi Lokesh,
I d/l those drivers (in rpm format for Redhat6.2) from the site u mentioned.
There were two files:
NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769.rh62.i386.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769.i386.rpm
The first file installed ok, but the second file reported that it required
XFree86-4.0+. So, I got the relevant XFRee86-4.0.1 files (rpm) and tried to
install them but this time rpm reported the error that it works only for <=3
version, or something similar. Can u tell me how to upgrade to XFree86-4.0.1
using my current version of Redhat6.2?
thanx (in adv),
Nikhil
