I did excactly what you mentioned in the original article ... however a few things were not the same.

All is well until I get to step #10.

modprobe nvidia works fine and when I go to copy the data as you show in step #11 it says that /etc/udev/devices does not exists. In fact ... udev doesn't exist either. .... of course I can't even complete the rest. Also I found that by changing nv to nvidia in the steps that it basically turns my monitor off? I have to change nvidia back to nv in order to get it to even boot up into a GUI and furthermore alot of programs popup complaining on errors. Also I don't have a xorg.conf file like everybody else does ... mine says XF86Config-4 which is where that info is stored.

I have an nvidia geforce 2 go running mandrake 10.0. ANY HELP is greatly appreciated.
thanks,

sdat1333, you are the best in the business. I tried your tutorial and it worked great for my AMD 64 3000+

ok, here is my god !@#$ problem, i have installed Fedora Core 3, on my AMD64 NVIDIA chipset-graphics based Compaq r3000z laptop. i want to install the lastest NVIDIA drivers and this is what i get.


"WARNING: Your Linux kernel has problems in its implementation of the change_page_attr kernel inteface. The NVIDIA kernel module will atempt to work around these problems, but system stability may be affected. It is recommended that you update to a 2.6.11 or newer kernel."

NOTE: My kernel version is 2.6.10-4 .. i have used YUM to update it, but it says there is nothing new or other release to upgrade my kernel, so how am i gonna to upgrade it?

Can someone give me a hand on this?

THANKS.

I had the same message come up; however, I was able to continue with the installation. Your probably going to have to install the kernel manually
here is a howto for fedora/redhat systems

Ok, i decided to install an older NVIDIA driver version, so i downloaded it and start, thia is what i got..

(2 errors)

1- Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support as a loadable kernel module. ......
What to do in this case.

2 - After hitting OK in the error 1, i got this :

ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module "nvidia.ko". This is most likely because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files. please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for you kernel; on Red .......

here no more step foward.. ! what can i do, wwhere can i see if i have it installed, if not, how and where install it.. damn ! and this is just for Graphics drivers.. missing synaptic mouse, wireless mouse, and i have 4 days that i already installed :S

be aware that a process like building a kernel was completed before this error.

but i ll win.


if u wanna see my /var/log/nvidia-installer.log ---> http://www.geocities.com/valdezjoelandres
thanks

will if you rebuilt your kernel than use the source u built it off of.

PS sorry if Im a little rusty its been 5-6 months since Ive been on linux at all

I had no problems install in my nvidia driver. I tested it by glxgears and Im getting 3200-4100fps. I also played with Blender and Gimp which seem to run good.

But now my internet is super slow and at times I cant get online at all..

I seem to be the only one with this problem..

When i uninstall it.....my internet is fast once again...
