My box is: Athlon XP2700 512 Mb Ram GeForce 4 Ti 4600 kernel Mandrake 2.6.10-1mdk I could not install from the installer as it could not find the sources. I could not install with the '--add-this-kernel' option as it could not find the sources. Remedy:- edit /etc/inittab - change init from 5 to 3 (single user mode) reboot log in as root rmmod nvidia modprobe -q agpart sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run -e Accept the default settings except name the kernel sources as /usr/src/linux(your kernel) edit /etc/inittab - change init from 3 (single user mode) to 5 (gui mode) reboot A little bit messy but works fine HTH Graham Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

My box is: I was about to copy your message to the person on the kde list, but then saw that you had already done so. (I hadn't spotted that it was the same person asking on both lists :-) ). Could you add this info to the TWiki, on http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/ViDeo under the NVidia section, please? Don't forget to mention that the Mdk version is 10.1 (put '%101%' in where you want the version to show up).

Following your hints, I did too; but for me it wasn't necessary to edit /etc/inittab: I just opened a terminal and sent telinit 3; then I logged as root and sent rmmode nvidia modprobe agpart as you suggested; then i ran the nvidia scritp as usual and this time the module was compiled with no problem. I rebooted and here I am ^_^ -- Smiley Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
