Copying Old nVidia Control Panel

Jick · 12-29-03, 12:17 AM

I'm wondering if anyone could provide some detailed information on copying the nVidia manager application from the older drivers to integrate with the newer drivers.

I'm aiming to use this tool with v1.0-5328 and enable TV-OUT.

Thanks,

Jay

Yes you can, run

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4620-pkg1 --extract-only

And copy the nvidia-settings executable to /usr/bin.

What's the file path and name of this executable? I extracted two different versions of the driver but couldn't find any executable with a name even similar to that.

The nvidia-settings can only be found in the 4620 drivers.

I can't find that drivers in the nvidia site. They are not in the archive page.
