i have no chance of installing nvidia drivers successfuly...
please help. i downloaded drivers from nvidia's website... (proper GLX and KERNEL for my system.. tried RH7.2 and up and the tars, still dont work) i tried both rpm's and tar's... i also followed the installation instructions properly... i re-installed RH8 five times because of those drivers... please help me.. |
Wait, if u have RH8.0 why donīt u tryed the drivers compiled for 8.0?
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up_2.4.18_18.8.0.i686.rpm (assuming that u have a Pentium III, if u have another, replace i686 for i586 (PII or celeron), i386 to 386, 486 machines) NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm then do this 1) Log as Root 2) Quote:
4) Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 In the Device Section, replace the line Quote:
Quote:
Load "glx" You should also remove the following lines: Load "dri" Load "GLcore" 5) Save XF86Config-4 6) restart X Nvidia Sign must show on, that means a Correct Instalation :) ____ If still doesnīt work, try downloading Source Files and Compile then |
If using the tar files when you go to make the NVIDIA kernel include this:
make SYSINCLUDE=/lib/modules/your kernel/build/include/linux make install Or IT will not make properly Also before you try to get this to work change your /etc/inittab file line id:5:initdefault to id:3:initdefault So that if the file doesn't install properly you still have access to your Linux box with a console, thus not needing to re-install Good Luck |
wait. i think i knew what the problem is... im using an amd duron...
what kernel should i download? i386? i686? or what? |
i have no /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
i only have /etc/X11/XF84Config is it ok? my XFree86 version: XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-72) / X Window System |
btw..
what is the difference between RedHat 7.3 updated to 2.4.18-10 UP i686 Architecture and RedHat 7.3 updated to 2.4.18-10 SMP i686 Architecture and RedHat 7.3 UP i686 Architecture im confused.. im using RH8 so i think im gonna download older versions... what should i download? SMP? UP? what the hell is that? lolz |
if i download nvidia kernels for older RH versions..
and im using RH8.. will nvidia kernel for RH 7.2 work in RH8? |
Nvidia offers an install detection scrtipt that will probe your computer and tell you which kernel and GLX packages to use. I am partial to using the source.tar.gz files and compiling everything myself. I have never been able to get the rpm files to work from nvidia.
Good Luck |
