Mandrake 10.1 CE and nvidia driver 6111
If anyone has gotten this working and can post some tips, please do. I have all 5 CD's of the CE. I saw that there are some nvidia drivers on CD5, but I'm not sure how to use them.
I downloaded the driver from nvidia. From various posts on the web, I gleaned that I needed to do something like run the installer with --extract-all, then replace the pm.h file, then run with --add-this-kernen, and then run it one more time. I edited the xorg.conf and made sure that Load gl and "NvAGP" "3" were there. Finally, it at least seemed to not crash on loading, but I had to run a modprobe nvidia every single boot, and I still couldn't see the nvidia logo at bootup or run any OpenGL stuff.
I just got done reloading Mandrake cleanly again, and I'm ready to try again. Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.
