Nvidia Drivers


Recommended Posts

Ok so this is probably a really common question but where can I find a guide for installing the nvidia drivers for the 2.4.22 kernel in slackware? Everything I search for is on about the 2.6.x kernels which I aren't going to try out yet..

Did you look at the nVidia website?

If I recall correctly, they have pretty good instructions with their downloads.

I don't know if this is the best way but I just logged into the root account, used init 3 to get to a command line only session then run sh NVIDIA-Linux-1.0 ... and let it do its thing. You will need to change the driver part for the graphics device section to nvidia in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

That's exactly the way I do it!

Almost exactly, anyhow... :rofl:

Except I don't "log in" as root. :o I log in as me, and just su to root to do the dirty work, and exit back to me again.

I have a phobia about logging in as root...
