Nvidia 2313 driver and RH7.2
Hello!
I'm in trouble since I've installed the nvidia 2313 driver. I have the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2313.rh72up.i386.rpm and the NVIDIA_GLX-1.0.2313.i386.rpm. X don't start........... Please help!!! My RH7.2 Linux version is 2.4.9-31. Here's my sample XFree86.0.log file: (II) Setting vga for screen 0.

well, i can't see anythign wrong as such, but:
1) install from tar.gz not RPM 2) new drivers were released a week or so ago, get the newest ones |
Were you doing installation without X running?

NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.rh72up_2.4.9_31.i686.rpm
A nvidia kernel driver built specifically for the 2.4.9-31 kernel is
available from the Nvidia. Hopefully that will push you in the correct direction. When X will not start in the manner you described use Crtl-Alt F5, log in as root, uninstall the non working RPMs, fix your XF86Config-4 file and restart X. I encountered a similar problem when I upgraded to the latest kernel from Redhat. Also the documentation provided by Nvidia on their web site is worth a read if you have further problems.

I have never got the rpm files to work. However the tar files take about 10 seconds to install.
download these files fron nvidia: NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.tar.gz NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.tar.gz as root without x started run these commands: tar -xvzf NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.tar.gz tar -xvzf NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.tar.gz cd NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880 make install cd ../NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880 make install here is the module section of my config file Section "Module" # Load "GLcore" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "fbdevhw" Load "pex5" # Load "dri" Load "glx" Load "pex5" Load "record" Load "xie" EndSection also change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" that's about it. ;-) |
Download and run nv_check.sh to trouble shoot your nvidia driver install.

I agree with Aussie.
I had a hard time getting them to work as well... after running the script, I realized they had a special RPM version for my kernel, and my processor. Looks like your problem is, you have the wrong RPM. For the 2.4.9_31 kernel, you need NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.rh72up_2.4.9_31.i386.rpm or NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.rh72up_2.4.9_31.i686.rpm or NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.rh72up_2.4.9_31.athlon.rpm |
just use the tar file!

I agree with BTseapig.
