Re: [newbie] Nvidia Drivers

Its easier to to it with the tarball then the rpm file. if you look in the
help it will show you which files you need to remove first unpack the 2
tarballs in /usr/src
then follow the help file on which files that have to be removed once that
is done while in console mode cd into the NVIDIA_kernel folder and type make
once its done the cd into the NVIDIA_GLX folder and type make after its done
cd to /etc/X11 then type in vi XF86Config-4 under load module you have to
add load "glx" then scroll down to the card and where it says driver   "nv"
change that to nvidia and reboot.

 Hi,

 I have Mandrake 7.2 installed and wanted to use the latest drivers for
Linux
 that are posted on Nvidia's web site for my Gforce Annihilator Pro card.

 I downloaded the RPM and when I double click it, I get a list of files.
One
 of these files is called install, if I double click that I get a text
 message saying "Run this to install the package".

 Not too sure how to do this or what to do next.

 Can anyone give me some guidance?


 Thanks,

the floppy are locked directories how can this be even logged in as root what 
would cause this and how do I unlock them?
