I am trying to run Doom3 on my Mandy 9.1 and it will
not run. The problem looks like a driver problem so I
downloaded a newer Nvidia driver.
The graphics card that I'm using is the GeForce 3 Ti200.
When I installed the latest version of nVidia's unified
graphics driver for Linux IA32 (version 6111) and
restarted the computer, X11 wouldn't start.
I got the error that the nVidia kernel was unable to
initialize and that it aborted. So I removed the new
driver and reinstalled the older one to get the system
back up.
The drivers that I had working before (that came with
the Mandrake 9.1 distro) were version 4321 and
were comprised of two rpms, the kernel and the GLX packages.
When the 6111 driver was being installed, it asked if I
wanted to delete the GLX rpm, and I said yes, though it
didn't ask about the kernel rpm.
Anybody know what I did wrong? The new driver is supposed
to work with our kernel, which is 2.4.21-0.13mdk.
What is necessary to install the newest nVidia drivers on
Mandrake 9.1? Do I need to uninstall the two driver 4321
rpms first?
Thanks in advance.
