In another thread, I created this howto, wanted to copy here for the masses. I am sure it is exactly similar to 9.1, it is almost identical to Suse 9.0 (XF86Config instead of XF86Config-4).
I installed Mandrake, performed all system and bug fix updates, then installed the nv driver.
RolledOat
1) Create a directory somewhere called NewSoftware or something like that.
2) Download this rpm to that directory
http://rpmfind.rediris.es/rpm2html/m...1mdk.i586.html
3) Start The Mandrake control center-->Software-->SoftwareMediaManager.
Select Add
Local files
Name it what you want, then add the above directory to the path.
Save.
4) Open RPM Drake
Enter 'nano' in the search line, then search
It will show up at the bottom. Click the box and then Install
(Ignore the signature warning)
5) You now have nano as a console editor (easy) and you learned how to
install new software on your system.
6) enter binutils in your search window. If it shows up, select the check box and install it.
7) Download this file
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...-5336-pkg1.run
8) open a console (Start-->Terminals-->Console ) and
su - root
<passwd>
init 3
9) Log in if you need to as root
10) cd /pathtoNVfile
11) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
literally,
Accept the Liscence, enter...5 seconds later, done.
12) cd /etc/X11/
13) cp XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4_orig
14) nano XF86Config-4
15) Find Driver = "nv"
replace "nv" with "nvidia"
16) Find Section=Module
Make sure that
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
are NOT there and make sure that
Load "glx"
IS there.
NOTE: If there, simply put a '#' in front of the line. For example
Load "dri"
becomes
#Load "dri"
17) Save.
18) enter
init 5
in about 5 -10 seconds, you should see the nvidia splash screen, then the login screen, you are good to go.
