Re: [newbie] TNT video board with Mandrake 6.1

If you have 6.1, the updates are included, just make sure the SVGA and
VGA16 servers are installed. go ahead and probe when the viper v770
message comes up- it worked fine for me

  Hi
 
  On the NVIDIA www I could download the TNT linux drivers.

  contain almost the same thing)
 
  Does someone already have the answer please ?
 
 Have you tried going to
 http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/  There are TNT
 drivers there... :-)
 OTOH, you may just want to use your favorite FTP client (I
 like NCFTP from console) and go to
 ftp://ftp1.detonator.nvidia.com/pub/drivers/english/riva-tnt-tnt2-vanta/linux/ and 
get the "static" version of either the libc or glibc driver.
 The reason I say to get the "static" version is that way
 you don't need to have the lib file for that version of
 whichever c-compiler they used to compile the driver.
