Then type sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run (or whatever your driver-filename) Follow the instructions on screen until the installer quits. Make a copy of your /etc/X11/XF86Config: cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.original edit your XF86Config with your favorite editor and change some settings as described in the README-file: (sec-03) EDITING YOUR X CONFIG FILE __________________________________________________ ________________________ If you already have an X config file working with a different driver (such as the 'nv' or 'vesa' driver), then all you need to do is find the relevant Device section and replace the line: Driver "nv" (or Driver "vesa") with Driver "nvidia" In the Module section, make sure you have: Load "glx" You should also remove the following lines: Load "dri" Load "GLcore" if they exist. Then you restart X with startx Should work! Good luck Etienne |
