We run some NVIDIA cards and after you take a kernel package you will have to rerun that NVIDIA installer so keep it handy.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mirko Vukovic Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 8:56 AM To: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Tikanga) discussion mailing-list Subject: [rhelv5-list] Updating driver for NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 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?
