This (obviously) doesn't work. What it is, is the nvidia driver has twoThanks again, the problem was that nvidia_drv.o was not being placed in the right place (/usr/...)
parts; a kernel module (the nvidia.ko file), and a X driver. When you run
the installer from nvidia's website, they should install to the correct
locations - you shouldn't need to move any files (the correct locations are
/lib/modules/2.6.1/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko &
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o). What you will need to do
is edit the X config file, usually /etc/X11/XF86Config or XF86Config-4.
In this file, you need to go to the display device section and change the
line that says:
Driver "nv"
to say
Driver "nvidia"
I had to do a find .|grep nvidia to find the module(buried in the NVIDIA...... installation directory)
and cp it to the right place <phew>. Now xinit works fine but startx hangs. Also my shiny new 2.6.1 kernel locks hard pretty often
(considering that my 2.4 kernel never did) Any ideas as to Why???????
and how do I change the resolution?
