I would have figured it would default to the framebuffer drivers like it did for my card. But anyhow, here's what you do. First go to www.nvidia.com . Select drivers, graphics, GeForce, then linux. Grab NVIDIA_GLX source rpm. Grab NVIDIA_kernel source rpm. Then get those to your linux machine (either copy the links and wget, or put them on a fat32 partition and just mount it in linux). Then install both of those packages using the rpm command (*not urpmi). rpm -ivh NVIDIA*.rpm This puts them in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES . now get kernel source urpmi kernel-source
cd /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES tar xvzf *GLX*.tar.gz tar xvzf *kernel*.tar.gz cd NVIDIA_kernel-<numbers> gmake install cd NVIDIA_GLX-<numbers> gmake install <editor (ie. emacs)> /etc/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 find the driver line where it probably says "nv" replace the nv with nvidia save reboot (I know you don't strictly have to boot, but its easiest and a good test) you should be set. -Eric Hattemer On Sat, 2002-09-28 at 21:46, Rodney Kanno wrote: > I just installed Mandrake 9, and I cannot start X.
