can you help me, im trying to install nvidia drivers on mandrake 9 and =
im getting lost in the how to`s, guides, and forums and i cant get my =
head around any of it.=20
i tried this,
Assuming you are using the open source (non 3D) drivers that most
distributions install as standard, then installing the new drivers
should take over the existing setting for the new drivers.
To install the drivers open a terminal as root type su and enter the
root password when prompted if you are not logged in as root.
To install the packages use the following commands:
rpm -Uvh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk90up.i586.rpm
rpm - e NVIDIA_GLX
This may report and error that it is not installed in which case ignore
it.
Finally:
rpm -ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm
Reboot your PC and hopefully all will be well.
and got this,
install went ok, i only got problems when i reboot the system and got =
message say- cannot sytart Xserver, its likely not set up correctly.
also-=20
log file /var/log/xfree86.0.log
using config file /etc/x11 or ll (not sure)/xf86conf ig4
[GLX] initializing GLX extension
also-
fatal server error: caught signal ll. server aborting.
now when i boot up i get what looks like a DOS screen asking for =
password, think ive broke it...
thanks Russ
