Nvidia Help (already read the sticky)

[AboveNBeyond]

I get nuttin when I follow the sticky instructions...

Do I need to follow this if I download the driver from nvidia...
To run the NVidia installer in the console window:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run -q
Add the directive --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-xxxxx if required to explicitly state the Linux kernel source path.

If so how do I perform the "Add the directive" part? Is there a command?

Please help,
Thanks.

If you downloaded the driver from Nvidia, I recommend you follow this guide instead:

The sticky in this forum is for installing via SuSE's YaST program only. The tutorial above is more general-purpose.

The q option makes it not ask so many questions, and if your Kernel Sources are in a non standard location you can use the option above. Mind you, if you didn't put it somewhere else then don't worry about it. To answer your question though to 'add the directive' you are actually just using that switch as part of the main command like this -

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run -q --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-xxxxx
