Hello list, i just want to mention new NVIDIA driver, it is not on the nvidia web page, but you can find it here:

Have fun!!! __________________________________________________________________________ (sec-01) CHOOSING THE NVIDIA PACKAGES APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR SYSTEM __________________________________________________________________________ NVIDIA has a unified driver architecture model; this means that one driver set can be used with all supported NVIDIA graphics chips. Please see Appendix A for a list of the NVIDIA graphics chips supported by the current drivers. Driver release 1.0-4365 introduces a new packaging and installation mechanism, which greatly simplifies the installation process. There is only a single file to download: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-1.0-4365.run. This contains everything previously contained by the old NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX packages. For the 1.0-4365 release, NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX src.rpms and tarballs are still provided. However, these will not be provided for future releases. __________________________________________________________________________ (sec-02) INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER __________________________________________________________________________ BEFORE YOU BEGIN DRIVER INSTALLATION Before beginning the driver installation, you should exit the X server. In addition you should set your default run level so you will boot to a vga console and not boot directly into X (please consult the documentation that came with your Linux distribution if you are unsure how to do this; this is normally done by modifying your /etc/inittab file). This will make it easier to recover if there is a problem during the installation. After installing the driver you must edit your XF86Config file before the newly installed driver will be used. See the section below entitled EDITING YOUR XF86CONFIG FILE. INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW NVIDIA DRIVER INSTALLER After you have downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4365.run, begin installation by exiting X, cd'ing into the directory containing the downloaded file, and run: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4365.run The .run file is a self-extracting archive. When the .run file is executed, it extracts the contents of the archive, and runs the contained `nvidia-installer` utility, which will walk you through installation of the NVIDIA driver. The .run file accepts many commandline options. Here are a few of the more common options: --info Print embedded info about the .run file and exit. --check Check integrity of the archive and exit. --extract-only Extract the contents of ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4365.run, but do not run 'nvidia-installer'. --help Print usage information for the common commandline options and exit. --advanced-options Print usage information for the common commandline options as well as the advanced options, and then exit Installation will also install the utility `nvidia-installer`, which may be later used to uninstall drivers, auto-download updated drivers, etc. [...] -- Norbert Augenstein 10:15PM up 41 mins, 3 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 ======================================================================== "I'd love to go out with you, but I'm converting my calendar watch from Julian to Gregorian." _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
