I just had a run in with the nvidia driver
installation last night on mandrake 8.2 Although I thought I was following
the directions right I wasn't. I was in X and I shouldn't have been when doing
the compile. When I booted to the console only logon as root and did my
thang' it worked fine after all the steps were completed. Although I
will have to say when I try and run quake3 as a user right from the KDE
desktop file manager it just messes up my resolution to a "magnified"
appearance. I run it as root from the console it'll be open quake3 properly but
then it
can't open /dev/dsp ... my sound
card is an aureal vortex 2 i installed the drivers vis cvs and tested the
configuration through harddrake. Why doesn't the installation of drivers
for any particular hardware work unilateraly from user to user on the same
system. If I have to install it as root and only root then wouldn't you think it
should apply for that computer system regardless of whomever is to log on?
