mdk 10.1 , nvidia and /dev/nvidia

aus9 · 12-19-2004, 09:01 AM

I have nvidia splash working so I guess I am ok and I have /dev/nvidia0 and /dev/nvidactl

What I don't have is the other /dev/nvida* files as requested by this site
http://www.rengels.de/computer/linux/linux-nvidia.html

mknod /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255
for nn in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ; do
mknod /dev/nvidia$nn c 195 $nn
done
chown root.video /dev/nvidia*
chmod 0660 /dev/nvidia*

2) so do I need those other nvidia1, 2 etc ?

I have a fx 5200 card

thanks for your time in replying

That's all I have with mdk10.1 and I have no problems with X loading or with 3d acceleration(9500 fps in glxgears, FX5900xt). If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
