I have downloaded the nVida drivers for my Redhat Linux 6.2 box. I am
using XFree86 4.1.0 Everything seems to install OK. I used
the source RPMS.
The problem comes when I replace "nv" with "nvidia" in my XF86Config file.
Trying to restart X produces the error:
Fatal Server Error:
no screens found.
I ran /sbin/lsmod and discovered the following:
Module Size Used by
NVdriver 939712 0 (unused)
On my system NVdriver is found in the directory
/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/video
I tried removing the module using rmmod and then running
insmod directly from this directory. Executing the command
indicated success, but lsmod still shows (unused) and trying
to start X produces the same error.
I checked the file /etc/conf.modules and it does contain the
following line.
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
Here is a portion of my XFree86 log file
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
Can anyone help? Many thanks.
Regards,
Jeff Stephens
