I've installed X 7.0/7.1 and use the Nvidia card from nvidia(7174).
You'll have to install libdrm and Mesa, and install the nvidia driver from
source over it.
Install libdrm just like in the book,
install mesa, but not with the command
make linux-dri
but with something like
make linux-x86
(a complete list is in the Makefile)
because nvidia cards have their own Direct Rendering Interface (that DRI
isn't it?)
They probably don't call it DRI, but some sort of direct access technique.
I saw something in paldo that I thought was very cool for handling the
multiple GLs and GLXs from Mesa, NVIDIA and ATI. Basically, Jürg has
replaced the X->Xorg symlink with a shell script. It reads your
driver from xorg.conf and then makes appropriate symlinks so you get
the right GL and GLX. An implicit part of this technique is that you
put Mesa's, NVIDIA's and ATI's libGL in separate directories. That
should be obvious from the shell script.
