Hello all,
I'm having a ball getting the proprietary nvidia drivers to work on box for a geforce2 DDR card.
I've already tried every trick in the book and a lot that aren't, frying the initrd twice in the process and using every kernel I could get my hands on to boot.
Tried all rpm's available as well the nvidia install script....nutting:(
I keep on getting the same error in XFree:NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed
The way I read my logs the nvidia gets loaded fine by the kernel but gets deactivated by XFree when it can't use the glx module with /dev/nvidia0.....:-/
Ah yes, I have commented out the <dri> line in /etc/security/console.perms and there's no line pointing to it in XF86Config-4 nor to GLcore, so it isn't that.
Does this ring any bells or is it a known Mandrake issue I've missed somewhere?
Have you checked for stale GL simlinks?
Sir Robin
