Other than looking at http://linux.del.com/dkms/dkms-ols2004.pdf and Section
#2 of http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules (ignore the title
of the article), what else do you need to know?

Completly remove the driver, run ldconfig restart the machine. Use the
""Provided"' Open Source kernel drives for your video card.  Simple
Solution.

I don't know where you got the driver from but I Highly recomend not
getting any from third party sites; Get them from the Vender Web Sight.
This maybe the brunt of your problems of not have the newest driver. It
may contain the fixes for your problem. Drivers from third party sites
are modified to there liking, so keep that in mind.

Window's WHQL Certified drivers had this problem with the nividia card
and a fix in the latest drivers corrects this issue.

1. Only other idea is if the "LATEST" driver want correct the problem,
then the only choice is to use the open source drivers in the kernel.
IE, remove the driver completly from Nvidia.

2. Next choice is to wrestle with DKMS and install the nvidia dkms
driver from one of the other Repositories.

Anyone on the List know of a good DKMS tutorial besides the one at
linux.dell.com? Relating to drivers? I do not want bits and pieces, I
need reliable facts

I downgraded the drive, but it did not fix.
I went back to the new driver.

After thinking about it for a while it sounds like the Windows Vista
Problem with some video cards. But for some reason I just can't phathon
that because you say it does not happen on the root account.
Do lspci from root and send the line containing your video card. Maybe
you can downgrade the driver if it is supported in an older release.

Run ldconfig as root in a terminal.  Have you rebooted the machine? The
Nvidea Readme sejust to do this. 
I have never had these problems with there drivers since beta. But had a
plethora of problems with the DKMS ones. I am just happy they even
suppport the card I use on this machine, because it is not supported in
Windows.

On your regular user account you may not have a file association with
the file your opening. Right click on the file and say open with. Or
open with another application and select the one you want to associate
with the file

Re: [CentOS] Icon .png file loading error after graphics driver upgrade

[John J. Lee]

A. Before I upgrade the nvidia Linux driver, everything was normal.
All programs worked fine.  Desktop display was OK.

B. After I upgraded the nvidia Linux driver, the icon display on the desktop
was not correct.  All icons on the panel and menu bars became small
empty boxes.
Error message dialog boxes popped up with the message like

'Failed to load image .png
Details: Fatal error reading PNG image files : zlib version error'

I still can run programs by clicking the icon locations.
Most programs run correctly.  Yesterday I found ghost viewer failed to
open pdf file.

Curiosity: If I log in as superuser, there are not problems. All icons are
displayed correctly.  Ghost viewer read pdf files.

Ok, lets start from the begining with what happened. Describe the
problem as best as you can.

A. Before

B. After

Paste you system log file in the mail /var/log/ messages\ after you boot
into root and then into you user account, just to be sure  to catch all
errors.

I changed the X server setting.  It did't help.
Ghost script opened pdf file before I upgrade the driver.  It is not
working either.

[CentOS] Icon .png file loading error after graphics driver upgrade

[John J. Lee]

Dear,

I updated my nvidia graphics driver on one of the CentOS boxes.

When I log in my account, icons are not displayed correctly.
They are displayed as small empty squares, and there are error messages like
"Fater error: failed to load .png : version error" for each icon.

If I log in as super user, everything is OK.  Icons are OK. No error messages.
Do you have any idea?

Thank you.
