Hi All Has anyone tried the nvidia drivers for mdk9.0 from MandrakeClub - the new ones that just came out yesterday? I can't get them to work but I'm wondering if its just me.
The docs say the file /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver must exist but its not there. Also in /dev there's supposed to be nvidia0, nvidia1, nvidia2, nvidia3, etc but there was only nvidia0 and nvidiactl. The error message is "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVdriver kernel module!" then something about screens found but no usuable config. lsmod showed NVdriver was loaded. I did a modprobe on NVdriver and rebooted several times too. Simply uninstallling the rpms and changing the XF86Config-4 file back to "nv" gave me a working X server again. I tried choosing different monitor and resolution settings but that didn't help (generally 1024x768 16bit). I had the nvidia drivers working with 8.1 no problemo. I'll try the "NvAGP" option in the morning but right now its late and I'd better get some shut-eye. Any help/advice much appreciated. Sharrea PS.
