Correct NVidia driver rpm help please

[SoulKlekta]

Hi there,
Excuse me for sounding like a total dork but can someone please confirm which files I need for my GF4 4200 128Mb and Mandrake 9.0 and/or 9.1.

I did have NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm but I want to install linux again and on the NVidia site the choices I have are

Linux IA32
Latest Version: 1.0-4349

or

Linux IA64
Latest Version: 1.0-4050

or

Linux AMD64
Latest Version: 1.0-4180
??

I have an Athlon T-Bird 1400@1608/Asus A7A266DDR mobo/Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 730 monitor

I still have the NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm and kernel to go with it.Will this one do for Mandrake 9.0/9.0,it was 8.1 and 8.2 & a GF3 Ti-500 I last used em with.

Also is the NVIDIA Linux installer available in all the usual places,I'm at work and shouldn't be searching for linux video drivers :angel2:

Try using the latest linux driver installer

Linux IA32 (32bit CPU, i386 architecture)
Latest Version: 1.0-4349

Thanks volt,
I've d/l'd the file you recommended,tell me do I still have to install the kernel or does this installer take care of all that?

[volt]

It should take care of that. All you need (AFAIK) is your distro kernel source (usually in /usr/src/linux)

:)

If you're using a shipping kernel, you shouldn't even need that. :)

In any case, it's always a good idea to have kernel sources installed. It's good karma, or something like that.

(it's way too early.)

Much obliged Andy,

To start with I'll just doing 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run' with the 'clean install' of M/drake 9.1.

I can't remember what the kernel version is but my initial intentions were to just keep the kernel installed at setup.

I must say,it's good to see NVidia doing something about all the different trials & tribulations people have concerning NV graphics cards,nice one!
