Actually, the XFdrake doesn't work yet, due to a bug: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=29092 I have therefore set the requires of the nvidia packages so that they can only be installed after the next drakx-kbd-mouse-x11 is released. I also opened http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=29094 related to the unobvious way to change drivers. If you *must* install a nvidia driver, install them with --allow-nodeps and follow these instructions to configure X.org manually: 1. update-alternatives --config gl_conf 2. select the wanted driver 3. open /etc/X11/xorg.conf 4. modify Driver to be "nvidia" in the "Device" section 5. in the Module section, make sure the only glx line present is: Load "glx" 6. put these lines into the Files section: ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/PACKAGENAME" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" Replace PACKAGENAME with nvidia97xx, nvidia96xx or nvidia71xx. x86_64 users replace /usr/lib with /usr/lib64 -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ PLF-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/plf-discuss
