Hi guys
i was wondering how i could close the Xserver in order to install the display drivers for my nVIDIA GeForce MX4000
I have tryed following the instructions provided by the ppl form nVIDIA but i run into a bit of a problem...
I'm running SUSE 9.1 on a AMD sempron 2200+ with a ASUS K7v8x-x MB
512MB DDR, 80GB HDD, nVIDIA Geforce MX4000 128MB,
The instructions to install the drivers were:
1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means installing the 'kernel-source', 'make' and 'gcc' packages with YaST2. Update it - if not already done - via YaST2 Online Update (YOU).
2) Use the nvidia installer for 1.0-8178.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run -q
3) Configure XFree86 with
sax2 -m 0=nvidia (0 is a digit, not a letter!)
NOTE: There is no need to try to enable 3D support. It's already enabled, when the nvidia driver is running.
THE ERROR I GET WHEN TRYING TO RUN THE FIRST COMMAND sh NVIDIA... etc IS THIS
NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 (1.0-8178)
ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. For further details, please see the chapter "Installing the NVIDIA Driver" in the README available on the Linux driver download page at
www.nvidia.com.
OK
NVIDIA Software Installer for Unix/Linux

i WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD TELL ME HOW TO TURN OFF THE xSERVER SO THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO INSTALL DISPLAY ADAPTER.
Thank you!!
