 I think the module name is wrong in your xorg.conf
 file .  So just vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change
 nvidia_1_0_7174 to nvidia.

I believe this error is actually in regards to the kernel module, not the X 
driver. One of the alias lines inserted into /etc/modprobe.conf by the ATrpms 
packages is probably causing this... If you have this line in there:

alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7174

...try commenting it out. And if you have this:

alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-7174

...drop the -1_0-7174 part.

For ease of switching from one nvidia driver version to another, the actual 
kernel module as installed by the ATrpms packages is nvidia_1_0_7174 instead 
of just nvidia.

[mythtv-users] Switch from NVIDIA via apt to NVIDIA .run installer

2005-04-23 Thread Robin Smith
Hi,
I am trying to fix my problems and as part of my troubleshooting and
switching to installing the nvidia drivers from their source as
opposed to using the apt packages.

Should I need anything other than the NVIDIA run file? (libs, etc). X
is still not loading - now I get FATAL: Module nvidia_1_0_7174 not
found, even though the nvidia installer reports a successful install.
