NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run offers, no success.
PS: Under Fedora Core 3, plus the multimedia packages offered by Planet
CCRMA, I succesfully could install the nvidia driver, using
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run.
Any ideas?
I used to use the nvidia module but I gave up on it ages ago as it wasn't worth it. Because it's closed source it's impossible for people to keep it up to date with changes in the kernel. It's always breaking and you have to wait for someone to figure out a fix or for Nvidia to release a new one. Each time you recompile the kernel you have to reinstall the nvidia module and for what? The only thing I ever compiled that needed the hardware accelerated graphics was Tuxracer, which isn't that great. If I wanted to play games I'd use an Xbox or PS2. So now I just use the XFree86 nv driver which works fine all the time. No need to compile any modules.
