Hi, I'm on Mandrake 10.1
I used MCC to create a new partition for /usr, and created a dir/usr/NWNG
I copied nwresources129.tar.gz and nwclient129.tar.gz to NWNG.
did tar -xzf nwresources129.tar.gz
when that finsher, I coppied nwclient129.tar.gz to nwn
cd to nwn
did tar -xzf nwclient129.tar.gz
did ./fixinstall
did ./nwn
get "Error"
and that's all she wrote! I had this running when I was up on Xandros V3 (2.6.9kern) - I had it in a separate reiserfs partition back then - I did mount that partition to MDK10.1, but got "failed to initialize graphics" with that, so I thought I'd start over...
PS if I add 1.65 to 1.29 on MDK, I get the "failed to initialize graphics"
(XFX GeF4Ti4200 as generic GEF4, Viewsonic A75f monitor)
Thoughts?
tia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Full Version: MDK10.1 NWN install. "error"
failed to initialize graphics
What videocard do you have? Nvidia? Install the nvidia driver.

EDIT: fixed by correctly installing Nvidia driver. 2/15/05
Hi and thanks for answering!
"card is an XFX Nvidia Ge4Force Ti4200"
"MDK recognized it as a GE4 Generic"
Yeah, I figured that and last nighted started to follow the FAQ on installing the driver. Doing the init 3 killed kde but did not give me a prompt - so I ctl-alt-del'ed and went to bed.
Today I set my default runlevel back to 3 and booted into root .
did urpmi binutils got "everything's already loaded".
did urpmi kernel-source and it proceeded to load 42mb of /usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk - really helpful on a 2.6.8.xx system!!!!!
I think the immediate question is where do I get/how do I prepare the current source for MDK10.1, and how do I specify that on the command line.
Thanks!
Kristi
EDIT1: okay, I now have /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk which I believe is the right source. (?)
and /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk
Now looking for how I prepare it...
Hi and thanks for answering!
