My pc isn't the most advanced

This is awesome. It works better with my card than any of the previous version of the nvidia drivers for Linux.

Oh yeah, check out /usr/bin/nvidia-settings

The new nvidia-settings utility is AWESOME! About time this was added!

Wow that is awsome, now if there was some easy way to overclock it like there is in windows.

You could try this utility for overclocking:

Hello all,

I Just Built an AMD athlon 64 3200 system. I have a PNY Nvidia 6800 12 pixal pipeline video card. Well I can't seem to get the drivers to work on Mandrake 10 for 64 bit platform. I've tried everything that I know of. Recompiled the kernel numbers of times changed file names tried many things.

I read the readME files from the Nvidia web-site looked through the FAQs looked through trouble shooting web-sites everything they said to do didn't work for me.

If anyone has gone through what I am going through please give me a holler, I'm getting very aggitated being I just spent a bundle of money and all I can do is check my e-mail on a very powerfull system!!

PLEASE HELP ME!

Ok are you downloading the amd 64 version of the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com.

Also, post what errors you are getting because we can't help you if we don't know what is wrong.

Yes they do
I was pleasantly suprised as they were no mention of this in the changelog or anywhere else.This is great news for people using linux boxes on arcade monitors and on TVS....now XF86/X.org need to get their act together and remove the 12 PCLOCK lower limit.

This is also great for HDTVS I would think,and of course standard PC monitors too,particularly for gaming I would think as the bandwidth is greatly decreased through interlacing.

Well,

I did download the correct drivers (At least from my knowlege) from Nvidia.This is the exact driver I downloaded
at Nvidia.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-6111.html

Anyway my problem is;

I open the driver in root, the driver comes up asking you to agree or disagree with the terms of the company I press agree. Then it tells me that I have no precompiled kernels and my problem keeps circling around this. I compiled my kernels several times. It seems no matter what I do the kernels I compile for the driver, the driver dosn't want to except the kernel. The driver gets to the point of actually installing but when it hits 100% it just comes up with an error messege. I have to apologize I don't remember the messege the computer at this point in time is with a friend of mine as he is trying to work on it but has gotten no where. And is suggesting I just go to windows, and I DON'T want to do that.

His diagnoses is though that the drivers aren't progamed correctly for the kernel.
I don't know and once again I apologize if this isn't enough information. if not let me know and i'll call my friend up who has the computer and get every little detail for you. THANKS!
