You didn't mention your distro, so answers are general.
Install the kernel source and kernel headers. Did you install the developmental packages if you choose to use source code? Edit your /etc/inittab and use the number in the comments for the default that corresponds to "Full multiuser mode". You will boot into command line then and you can start your X session with startx. # Configuring X Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO - video cards The Linux XFree86 HOWTO Common X configuring tools: Redhat 7.3 down - the setup utility leads to several config tools Redhat 7.3 up - redhat-config-xfree86 Debian - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 You may have these tools: XF86Setup XFree86 -configure Xconfigurator xf86cfg xf86config xconf nVidia Driver Installation NHF nVidia driver page |
from a root prompt type init 3, that will drop you to runlevel 3, cd /to/where/your/nvidiascript/is and run it. the readme will have instructions if it's the .run script just type
