nvidia driver setup
 

All right I ran the package installer and all, that was fairly straight forward. I need help editing the config files. How Do I edit the files in console so that ...

If you have a working X config file for a different driver (such as the "nv"
or "vesa" driver), then simply edit the file as follows.

Remove the line:

Driver "nv"
(or Driver "vesa")
(or Driver "fbdev")

and replace it with the line:

Driver "nvidia"

Remove the following lines:

Load "dri"
Load "GLCore"

In the "Module" section of the file, add the line (if it does not already
exist):

Load "glx"



By the way the card is a ti4200 and I'm running Mandrake 10.1

With your favorite editor as root edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf if that's what your distro uses....mine does.

I figuered with an editor, I need to know the commands to open and save the config file

With a GUI editor you should be able to use the menus. In Slack I
run my workstation with Fluxbox, and use pico to edit most things.
The commands are on the bottom of the screen in pico, and they're
very much like most other similar apps. I don't know what you'll
have available in Mandrake 10.1

If i do it in GUI I can't save it because it says I don't have permission hence why I think I have to do it in console, all I want to know s how to open and save the text file in console mode.

If you want to use a gui editor, open a console, su to root and start up an editor such as kwrite.

# kwrite

Make the changes and you'll be able to save it.

thanks that got it
