Hi.
I installed the 4191 driver in 9.0 and they work fine but you have to
do it properly or it will mess up your install. :-(
you will have to remove and uninstall any NVIDIA drivers which you
have tried. I had to reinstall to fix my first attempt. ;-{
But , It can be done ! so Take heart !
First you must have the right source rpm installed so you will need to
correct this.
you can find the right sources here :
ftp://at.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/
I use the kernel-headers-2.4.18-41 so you should be fine with that
one.
the kernel-doc doesn't matter
I followed this tutorial which is very nice :
http://www.icculus.org/~dolson/mdkxp/?c=ttrls/nvidiacli
It directs you to rebuild the src rpms for your pc which is a good
idea. it also tells you where you can get them ( but this is
incorrect, get them from the Nvidia site itself , and make sure they
are the src.rpms )
If I remember , you will find the rebuild rpms here
:/usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586
follow the rest of the tutorial carefully and it will work fine.
always remember to do alot of this from the command line in runlevel 3
If you need help write me back and I can tell you how to use mcedit
to edit the files you need to edit if you don't know how to do that
from the command line.
mcedit is much easier to use than vi which he suggests using to edit
the files. ( just let me know ) ;-)
hope this helps .
oh yeah, this is what I get when I use glxgears to test the speed of
the card with the Nvidia drivers :
944 frames in 5.0 seconds = 188.800 FPS
1115 frames in 5.0 seconds = 223.000 FPS
1131 frames in 5.0 seconds = 226.200 FPS
1133 frames in 5.0 seconds = 226.600 FPS
Not bad eh?

Mandrake 9.0
GeForce2 MMX w/64 ram
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.tar.gz
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.tar.gz
From what I can find, it appears that my kernel does not match my
kernel-header version:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-headers-2.4.18-41mdk
kernel-source-2.4.19-24mdk
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk90up
kernel-doc-2.4.19-24mdk
I tried this as well (but not too sure the path was correct)
make install SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-24mdk
with no luck.
What advise would anybody have? remove the
kernel-source-2.4.19-24mdk and install kernel-source-2.4.19-16mdk?
Wait till 9.1 is out? (without startx till then...)
Thanks for any help and or advise
Steve
Thank you for the advise,
I have installed nvidia drivers a few times and had no problems up until
now.
src's wouldn't work, premade mdk rpm's would not work (at least the
one I believe was the correct one) what ended up working was using
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk90up.rpm
Still received an error saying that it might break my system - but I am
in Xwindows now and all is well!
Now on to find a decent mirror for 9.1!
Thanks again
Steve

Looks like no choice as to top or bottom posting thru AT$T's web site! Derek, I am at work, so there is no way to confirm that kernel-headers-2.4.19-16mdk is on the cd's - however looking thru the mirrors this morning, I find kernel- headers-2.4.18-41mdk is what is available for 9.0 If you have it or know where I could find kernel-headers-2.4.19-16mdk I would sure be thankfull. I have done a search, and found nothing close to that.

Re: [newbie] error installing NVIDIA 1.0-4191 drivers
Sorry My mistake. I assumed the 2.4.19 kernel headers would be on the CD, but you are correct they are 2.4.18. I do not understand why the kernel headers should be for a different version of the kernel, and I cannot find any other version available. Personally I use the precompiled drivers from Mandrake Club, but this guide might be of some use to you http://www.icculus.org/~dolson/mdkxp/?c=ttrls/nvidiacli derek On Monday 24 Mar 2003 3:12 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Looks like no choice as to top or bottom posting thru AT$T's web site!

Re: [newbie] error installing NVIDIA 1.0-4191 drivers
I just became a Mandrake Club member this past weekend so I will go find those precompiled drivers. Will take a look at that link as well. I have installed - then upgraded Nvidia drivers quite a few times now but never ran into this problem. yanc (HTH - some program for tweaking Nvidia drivers) would not install either and I suspect it might be the same problem. Thanks for the pointers Derek, will take a look at those options tonight. Steve Sorry My mistake. I assumed the 2.4.19 kernel headers would be on the CD, but you are correct they are 2.4.18.
