Nvidia quadro pci e-series drivers

fzanella · 07-22-2009, 04:03 PM

I have a RHEL5.3 desktop, which contains an Nvidia NG37GL Quadro PCI-E series graphics card. I need to install the driver for this card, but cannot find any information on the Nvidia site or other sites.
Any suggestions?

?

Neither a search on Google nor of Nvidia gave me any search results for NG37GL Quadro, only for other Quadro models. Are you sure of the model number? Might 37GL refer to the chip core, not the chip itself?

What have you tried? Does RHEL5.3 not include the nv or the vesa module, or does nothing load when you boot? What do you get when you try the command "dmesg" and "modprobe -c"?

More information is needed.

I have 'nv' set as the 'Device' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

The display seems to be working well, so maybe I don't need to do anything and stay with the current driver.

thanks, Fabrizio

You have the next best...

nv is better than vesa but you could try to install the nvidia driver, though I don't know which one. Try to find out a bit more about the chip before you select which nvidia driver, that is if you want to try.
