Hello,

I was trying to install nVidia 6629 driver but it said that I was running x-server. How can I disable it? How can I enable it after that? um no clue ...

UPDATE:
1. I downloaded the 6629 Linux nVidia drive at nvidia.com
2. open terminal type "su" then login as root
3. emacs /etc/inittab
4. change id:5:initdefault to id:3:initdefault then save it
5. reboot system, you then will see like dos mode
5. go to your download folder where nvidia driver at
6. sh <nvidia filenams> then follow the instruction
7. type "startx" when done to boot GUI mode back to FC3 desktop
8. open terminal login as root
9. emacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf see here then save it
10. emacs /etc/rc.local then add "modprobe nvidia" under comments then save it
11. go back to step 3.& 4 but this time change 3 back to 5 then save it
12. reboot the system and you should see improvement.

I hope it helps! Thank you for all the posters and I really learned a lot. Now I'm working on wireless PCMCIA card which is Belkin F5D7011 ...
