instead of just an RTFM, here are my lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :
(I'm using latest drivers 4496 from
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html (take IA32)
at the beginning
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer
EndSection
near the middle
Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 (4496)"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
You should have read
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...496/README.txt which states (sec03 EDITING YOUR XF86CONFIG FILE) replace the line:
Driver "nv"
(or Driver "vesa")
with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section, make sure you have:
Load "glx"
You should also remove the following lines:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore" Changing XF86Config)
Hope this helps. If you had already installed an nvidia driver your XF86Config-4 should already be ok.
