Relaunch XFDrake to Configure Nvidia Card ?


Hey Guys,

I upgraded or updated my kernel to my Mandrake 10.0 Official operating system to the 263-15mdk kernel and I am now installing my NVIDIA_GLX-5336-6mdk & my NVIDIA_kernel-2.6.3-15mdk-5336-6mdk driver and when I run the rpm -i NVIDIA_kernel-2.6.3-15mdk-5336-6mdk in failsafe mode to install the drivers I get this meesage below:



Code:
Relaunch XFdrake to configure your NVIDIA Card
What do I do from this point to install the drivers?

ya know, nvidia has to the single most problem for people as of late........

anywho, you don't need an nvidia kernel or an rpm to install the drivers. you can just use a standard 2.6.3-15mdk kernel. you also MUST have the matching sources installed. then get the 6036 drivers from the nvidia site (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run), then go to the link in my sig for instructions on how to install.
