Thumbs up Finally loaded nvidia driver in MDK 9.2!


Ok this is for anyone who may be having similar problems. I was having a heckuva time getting the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496.pkg2.run driver to load in mandrake 9.2. Everytime I changed my XF86Config-4 file and started X my screen would freeze with some junmbled noise on the bottom of the screen.

I finally got it working by adding nvidia to the modules file under /etc and adding Option "NvAGP" "1" to the XF86Config-4 file. Apparantly it wanted to use agpgart. I was able to replay the problem by adding agpgart to the modules file.

I hope this helps!

yeah, I guess it doesn't like agpgart, though. I can play the games I wanted at least with good quality, like tuxracer, americas army and neverwinter nights.
