Unhappy Slack8.1 and nVidia 1.0-3123 drivers

Hello, I've been doing a few housekeeping type things to improve my slack install of late one of which is to install the nVidia drivers; which has turned into a problem.

I downloaded the

NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.tar.gz
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.tar.gz

files and shutdown X ... as root I

$ tar xvzf NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf NVIDIA_GLX.tar.gz

then I jump down to the newly placed "kernel" folder,

make install

everything seems fine and driver installed ok

then I jump down to the newly placed "GLX" folder,

make install

no mod dep problems, all seems good.

I go ahead, edit my XF86Config, modprobe NVdriver ... everthing looks ok

but startx gives me this

**** BOTTOM ****

As you can see I'm using Gforce 2 mx400, Xfree86 4.2, bare.i kernel 2.4.18 ... the NVdriver is picked up ok it just falls over I did md5sum on both of the tar-balls, they both checksummed ! What could it be ? Is the resource range discrepancy an issue ?

When nVidia say you need to allocate an IRQ to VGA through BIOS for these drivers to work they really do mean it.

Did you ever get this fixed? I just upgraded two systems with the new NVidia drivers.

When I edited XF86Config, I had to un-remark load "glx" towards the beginning of the file and change driver "nv" to driver "nvidia" towards the end of the file.

All went well. Now when I startx I get an NVIDIA splash screen and then my fluxbox WM.

Add this line: Option "NoLogo"
to "Server flags section" in your /etc/X11/XFConfig
