Editing Files needed for nvidia-6626 drivers.
 

Hey guys,

I recently re-installed my mandrake linux 10.1 because i was missing a gui when i installed the NVIDIA-6626-Drivers and edited the config files. I'm scared i might edit the wrong files again or do something wrong. Can someone please guide me out on what files i edit and how to edit them?

Thanks, DesyphER

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the line

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce"
Driver "nv"
VideoRam 262144
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

to say

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce"
Driver "nvidia"
VideoRam 262144
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
May not be exactly the same but you should be able to do it. Also uncomment "Load glx"

After the installation is complete do i init 5 and insert those lines through the GUI. Or do you want me to do it whilst im still in init 3 mode?

just use vim tp do it. If you can't fidn the lin type /nv

i don't get you sorry. Can you please be more specific. I'm quite the linux newbie
