as the subject said. I was tring to find out what options was enable on my nvidia card but when i moved over to /proc/driver/
no nvidia folder was in there :confused:

can any point to where i can find nvidia folder in mandy 9.1 so i can see if SBA and FW is enable?

well d00d, i am not much of an expert, but firstly i think you have to be using the driver for that folder to be there, and i also thing after the driver directory you have to go to the agp directory, and then nvidia...don't take my word for this and i am sure someone will post if i am wrong to correct what i told you..

I install them to the default directory, when i was working under mandy 8.2 they was there and i installed them the same way. there isn't a agp directory under driver. and it's /proc/driver/nvidia/agp.

You have to have the kernel module loaded...
check "lsmod" and see if there is a "nvidia" module loaded. if not do a "insmod nvidia" then go to /proc/driver and you should see nvidia.
