Hi everybody,
When using Mandrake 8.1 I was able to install and use the Nvidia drivers
from NVidia site for my GeForce2 GTS using the usual method explainded
in the Nvidia README file:
- Downloading the source files.
- Compilling and installing:
$ tar xvzf NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf NVIDIA_GLX.tar.gz
$ cd NVIDIA_kernel
$ make install
$ cd ../NVIDIA_GLX
$ make install
- And modifying the X config file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 with:
Device section and replace the line:
Driver "nv"
with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section, make sure you have:
Load "glx"
You should also remove the following lines:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
if they exist.
I recently installed Madrake 8.2 and this method didn't worked for me.
All these steps worked fine with no error messages. I restarted the X
(via the Control + Alt + Backspace keys) and the nvidia screen was
displayed before the X restarted. After this the X started and worked
fine. So the nvidia driver worked.
The proble is when rebooting the computer: The X was not unable to start.
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem???
Thanks!
Gregorio
