I need help
Hi

Can someone help me?

I have installed mandrake 9.1, before few days I installed drivers for my graphic card
That is 1.0-4349 version of NVIDIA drivers

After installation install process was display me message:

Installation of the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86
(Version: 1.0-4349) is now complete. Please update your XF86Config file as
appropriate; see the file /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for details.

Problem is what I don't now how to configure XF86Config, I check and my xfree86 server 4.3 uses
XF86Config-4 config file.

Can someone configure to me this file, my XF86Config-4
is in attachment
and send to me on my mail semsudin@hostbih.com

I have
Mandrake 9.1 OS
geforce 2 mx/mx 400 graphic card
xfree86 4.3


Thanks

All you need to do is change the line Driver "nv"to readDriver "nvidia"and you should be all set.

To do this, you'll have to use a text editor of some sort. I think the easiest one to use is 'pico', but i'm sure everybody has their own opinion.

Also, a sample XF86Config file is installed to /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/ - you should just be able to copy this to /etc/X11 and create a symbolic link to it.

To do this, type (as root):
cd /etc/X11
cp /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/XF86Config.sample .
mv XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.original
ln -s XF86Config.sample XF86Config-4
You should now have a working XF86Config file.
