Re: NVIDIA Driver

["M.Hockings" <veeshooter hockings net>]

Hi Asmir,

I also went through this just days ago and I probably have a similar 
Linux skill level as yourself.

You can get the GeForce driver by using the installer (the .run file) 
from this page:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-4496

And there are instructions in this readme:

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/README.txt

In short what you probably want to do is download the .run file,  log on 
as root and edit the inittab as Tony and Bob have indicated, reboot to 
shut down X, run the installer and make the changes to the X config (see 
the readme for the details on this, it is very clear) undo the inittab 
changes then reboot.  The readme (and it's PDF version) appear large but 
the instructions for the install are quite concise.

Kind regards,

Mike
