nVidia drivers and Yellow Dog Linux

[djbrennan]

I am trying to install Yellow Dog Linux 2.3 on the latest generation Mac G4 Dual CPU with an nVidia GeForece 4 AGP card in it. Does anyone know whether or not the nVidia driver will work on this platform ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

won't work.

these drivers are x86 specific.


cheers

Yeah, unfortunately, it seems that mtrr is right. Various parts of the drivers have already been compiled -- Module-nvkernel in the NVIDIA_kernel package, and everything (libGL, libGLcore, libglx, nvidia_drv.o, libXvMCNVIDIA or whatever it's called, etc.) in the NVIDIA_GLX package.

As far as I've ever seen, a binary built for one processor won't run on another... :(
