I downloaded the nvidia drivers from the nvidia web site, and installed it, and I altered the xorg.conf file appropriately. When I did a "startx", I didn't see an NVIDIA logo. Does that mean that the install wasn't successful? How can I tell if the installation was successful and the drivers are working properly.
I did get one message while installing the drivers:
Code:
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver; the
NVIDIA kernel module will still be built and installed,
but be aware that the NVIDIA driver will not be able to
function properly if the rivafb module is loaded!
Is this going to be a problem for me? How do I know if I'm using the rivafm module, and how do I get rid of it (if necessary)?
