Richard, For me the rpms from textar runed perfectly (well, there are some NVIDIA bugs but it is a Nvidia problem).
Start in mode 3 (text) login as root rpm -ivh Nvidia_kernel... rpm -ivh Nvidia-GLX Then, XFdrake; select your graphic card but in the propietary Nvidia point, not in the XFree86-4.3 one; accept and XF86Config-4 will be correctly updated. Then you can star the X Regards El Martes, 1 de Abril de 2003 23:49, John Richard Smith escribió: > Stephen Kuhn wrote: > >On Wed, 2003-04-02 at 02:13, John Richard Smith wrote: > >>Ok, so I installed, > >>NVIDIA_kernel-1.0tex-4191.i586.rpm > >>NVIDIA_GLX-1.0tex-4191.i586.rpm > >>from texstar website. > >> > >>Now I always got on boot-up, > >> > >>probing for new hardware (0,00,00,00) > >>processing sda, scd0, scd1, > >>adding devfsd device names, > >>adding information > >> > >>this repeated about 10 times, > >> > >> > >>but now I get in adition to above, > >> > >>xfree86 v4.3.0 > >>makes (--)probed(xx)from config file (==) default settings > >> (++)from command line (!!) notice (11) info > >> (ww) warning (EE) error (Ni) not implemented(??) unknown > >>using vt7 > >>(11)[glx] initializing GLX extension. > >>XXX if unresolved symbols were reported above they might not > >>be reason for server aborting. > >>total error server aborted. > >>now I tried the usual alteration of /etc/x11/xffree86-4 file from > >>"nv" to "nvidia" but it made not difference, > >>seems like I need something more by way of configuration , but what ? > >>John > > > >Strange - so what happens - do you get dumped to a console, or what? > >Have you checked to make sure you commented out the "dbe" bit in the > >XF86Config-4 file as well? > > Well, I get the usual terminal, I login as root, and starx, and I get > the same warnings as abovementioned. > Anyway attatched is my current /etc/x11/xf86Config-4 > and /var/log/XFree86.0.log > > see if you can spot something ? > > thanks, > > John -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Murcia, España (Spain)
