rh 7.3 and tnt2 problems
have a Diamond Media V770 TNT2 board (32M RAM) I downloaded and ran NVchooser.sh and this told me to install
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.i386.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.rh73smp.i686.rpm (I have a dual Pentium-III system) I modified /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 as suggested and ran startx X failed to start, (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVdriver kernel module! lsmod shows that NVdriver is installed and running, I then tried the src rpms and built/installed those (strangely created i386 files and not i686 files I was expecting), anyway same result - failed to initialize any suggestions how to get this loaded, I have 2 PC's with TNT boards and it sure would be nice to play quake 3 thanks for your help |

Check your linux logfile (for example /var/log/messages) for errors.

found my own solution - not mentioned in FAQ
When the NVdriver starts up it may spit out a message to a console. This could tell you to 'Assign IRQ to VGA in your BIOS'
do this and all will be well whooo now for quake3 |
