[newbie] Mandrake 7.2 AND 1.NVIDIA drivers 2. Matlab
Hi all, I have 2 questions: I have recently installed Mandrake 7.2 Beta, which seemed to be a necessity for XFree86 to operate properly with NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS card.I was unable to run XFree86 with Mandrake 7.1. I had to install lots of things extra. Anyway, 7.2 sees GeForce2 card and I have a running XFree86. The problems: 1. NVIDIA provides kernel and GLX drivers for its cards. I was able to install them in 7.1. (In fact, the installation was problemless however, the results were not satisfactory. I was unable to run an openGL program which was my main aim. Then I decided to move to 7.2). Well, I cannot install these drivers in 7.2. It gives some errors concerning the agpgart.o. And the 'insmod NVdriver' fails. Has anyone managed to install NVIDIA drivers to Mandrake 7.2? 2. I had installed Matlab R11 to 7.1 and it was runing OK. I installed it to 7.2 (I had to add a library manually because matlab insisted on having libdl.so.1, whereas 7.2 has libdl.so.2 )and now only the root can run it, if a user tries to run it, it dumps core and gives segmentation fault. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks Burak

On Saturday 21 October 2000 04:25, you scribled down on a piece of electronic paper: 1. NVIDIA provides kernel and GLX drivers for its cards. I was able to install them in 7.1. (In fact, the installation was problemless however, the results were not satisfactory. I was unable to run an openGL program which was my main aim. Then I decided to move to 7.2). Well, I cannot install these drivers in 7.2. It gives some errors concerning the agpgart.o. And the 'insmod NVdriver' fails. Has anyone managed to install NVIDIA drivers to Mandrake 7.2? Recompile your kernel and enable "/dev/agpart (AGP Support)" under the "Character devices" section. This should fix the problem :) I'm myself running XFree 4.0.1 Mandrake 7.2beta3 on a card with the NVidia GeForce2 chipset (asus v7700) and using the NVidia kernel and GLX drivers, and I get better results here with Quake3 and Heavy Gear2 then I get when I boot into windows and try there (with the latest NVidia windows drivers). -- \ Christian A Strømmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...
