I need to update the driver for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 card. The computer is a 64-bit RHEL5 from Dell. Dell does not have any driver updates.
>From the NVIDIA site I downloaded the .run file. I found instructions on GPUGrid.net: * Download the drivers from the NVIDIA website<http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html>into a directory (for instance /tmp) * Press ctrl-alt-F1, a text login screen will appear * login as root * type "init 3" to stop the X server * type "sh NVIDIA....pkg.run" to install the driver from the directory where you had downloaded it * answer yes to all questions from the installer * type "init 5" * press "ctrl-alt-F7" to get back to X Windows >From what I read on the web, the driver needs to be recompiled after each new kernel. How does one do that? But I also found a thread from this February on the kmod-nvidia packages on ElRepo that avoids the recompilation. Unfortunately, the FX 4600 card is not on the list (including the legacy ones). So it looks that my only option is to install the driver from NVIDIA? Any other thoughts? Thanks, Mirko
