Re: nVidia GEForce 4 Ti 4600

2002-04-16 Thread Pieter De Wit 

Hey Rob,

Look under the NVIDIA_GLX file, your have to change two lines in
XF86config-4. There is installation instructions under the README file. I
think you have to add under the video section :

Load GLX

And under the driver section I think you replace Driver nv with Driver
nvidia (or it could be the other way)

I wrote this off the top of my head, drop me an e-mail and I will forward
you that readme file.

Cheers,

Pieter De Wit

2002-04-15 Thread Pieter De Wit 

Hello Dave,

This might be a bit OT and I also don't want to start a long thread, but I
am sure I saw the source code on that same download page. Its both in rpm
and .gz form. I used it when I changed kernels, because the RPM only
supports the RedHat Kernel numbers.

Cheers,

Pieter

I think you will find the NVIDIA driver install to be an excellent package.
I used it for mine and was pleasantly surprised how smoothly it went.

Thanks.  I checked on nVidia, and they seem to have a driver for my
card.  So when I do the initial RH installation, is there any logic to
which card to tell the system I have (since I have to tell it
something)?  I assume I'll then install the nVidia driver RPM from the
shell.

In an effort to stop this thread from repeating past long winded threads
about NVidia drivers . . .

It's not surprising that the installer doesn't know about it since the
card came out after Red Hat 7.2 You may be able to get 2D support by
setting it up as a GF 3, but if you shelled out the bucks for a GF 4 I
assume you want 3D accelerated graphics. NVidia can't/won't (I'm not
certain exactly which) release the specs so it is impossible for open
source drivers to exist. NVidia does provide their own "drivers" for
Linux (you need a kernel driver and a GL library - see nvidia.com);
these drivers are know to have bugs (although most of the time they work
reasonably well if you follow the README instructions carefully) so use
at your own risk (i.e., don't ask for support/help from Red Hat since
they can't support them without the source code for them). If it doesn't
work, bug NVidia.
