installing a video card driver
hi ím new to linux and iīve installed linux, but i canīt acces to x window because it donīt accept my video card and iīve downloaded the driver and itīs in rpm format but i have it in a 3 1/2 disk and i donīt know how to acces to the disk and install the driver, please help me!!!
:newbie: |
put the floppy in the drive and type :
mount floppy this should work. if it doesn't, then we'll need more info about your 3 1/2 drive to get that to work. assuming it does work, then you can just copy files out of the floppy drive. it will be mounted either under /mnt/floppy or just under /floppy - copy the files and install the rpms from there. |
Re: video driver
mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /floppy
ls /floppy *** now you see your drivers If they are rpms rpm -ivh /floppy/***file name*** if not copy the over ** cp /floppy/**file name ** /root/ once they are under root gzip -d /root/**filename ** tar -xvf **file name.tar** cd **/directory name** ./configure make make install this should do you ...if not IM me Good luck |
