Look at the selector on this page. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
If you need the GeForce 6 series, it looks like you use the current driver. I don't know if you are running a 32 bit or 64 bit distro. You want to make sure you have the correct package. The version that shows up in the selector is Version: 185.18.14 Here is a web page listing the cards supported. Your card is in the list. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...ppendix-a.html Check the names of the drivers you installed. I had two driver packages for SuSE. On was for the kernel driver, the other I think was the GL files. If you decide to install it using the NVidia installer, you will need the kernel source installed. You will also have to build a nvidia kernel module after every kernel upgrade. |
Cease and Desist
@31tempe:
You have crossposted a similar message across LQ, which makes it the equivalent of UBE (Bulk) and is therefore considered hostile. The message is inappropriate because it does not address the Original Post in the intended way (LQ centers around all things GNU/Linux) and is considered as deliberately inciting. As you are in violation of the LQ Rules you are ordered to stop posting and read your email. @All: please do not reply to 31tempe's post. Thanks for understanding. |
thanks wabbalee I will try that once I update to 9.04
And to answer 31tempe's solution after using ubuntu I don't think I want to go back to windows as so far I have found ubuntu to be better |
I will try the nvidia website option also and keep you posted on how it goes ( hopefully well) thanks again for your help
