Nvidia GeForce MX 4000 - Nvidia 96
Hello,
I use Ubuntu 10.04.03 and with Nvidia 96 driver. I am searching for a distro to use After 10.04.03 support ends in April 2013. I have tried a number of them but cannot see my cursor/mouse arrow in live CD to try and setup Nvidia 96. Perhaps I could try to install a distro which will support my old video card GeForce MX 4000 and Then try to enable Nvidia 96. I would appreciate any suggestions of distros to try. Thank you. |
CentOS 6.3 or ScientificLinux 6.3
will still run the nvidia 96 driver "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run" however the current kmod-nvidia-96xx is a bit busted the devs are working on the "96.43.23" new kmod currently the 96 .run will need extra steps before you can install it on CentOS 6.3 but it works |
Thanks John VV, I will explore both distros :)

I have installed both centos 6.3 and scientific linux 6.3. I followed instructions as best I could, not being an experienced user, and could not enable nvidia 96. I am giving up and will stay with ubuntu 10.04.03 since it makes enabling nvidia 96 quite straight forward. I also may invest in a new computer and junk the old one.

cent is using the nouveau driver as default
for the 96 ...23.run or the NEW kmod-nvidia.96xx in the ELrepo-TESTING repo you will need to rebuild the boot image to remove the nouveau driver see my post on the SL6 forum http://scientificlinuxforum.org/inde...ndpost&p=15013 that is for the .run for the kmod you just need to use dracut AFTER you install the kmod-nvidia.96XX from the TESTING repo Code:
