Rebuilding nVidia Driver /dev/nvidia1
After successfully rebuilding the RPM packages (I had downloaded the right ones) and ran the test program nvcheck.sh it failed.
It said that the location /dev/nvidia1 did not exist or that it hadn't loaded properly. Whats wrong? Dan |

make sure the device exists..
You should see nvidia0,1,2,3 and nvidiactl in /dev. If one or more are missing, run the following: mknod /dev/nvidia0 c 195 0 ; chmod 666 /dev/nvidia0 mknod /dev/nvidia1 c 195 1 ; chmod 666 /dev/nvidia1 mknod /dev/nvidia2 c 195 2 ; chmod 666 /dev/nvidia2 mknod /dev/nvidia3 c 195 3 ; chmod 666 /dev/nvidia3 mknod /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255 ; chmod 666 /dev/nvidiactl |

/dev/nvidia1 is only needed when you have more than one nvidia card. nvidia0 is used for card1, nvidia1 for card2 ...
So that doesn't have to be that serious. |

Could be a sign of a greater problem though, maybe makedevices.sh failed to run or crapped out after creating the first device...
Trashed rpm maybe.. Hard to say |
