nvidia driver Mandrake 10.1

[agalmat]

Hello,

I´ve installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run in Mandrake 10.1

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run

I wrote "nvidia" instead of "nv" in XF86Config

Here is a piece of the log file:

(II) Setting vga for screen 0.

Can anyone tell me what´s wrong?

Thank you,

5336 is an old version. Try with the new version and see if you get the same problem:

Ah I had this problem too.

Also in the second topic you will see a link to the nvidia linux forum where there are numerous examples of how to get the module to load on boot.
good luck.
