  2. 10.1 community and nvidia 6111 driver

    Posted

    alright update: i got the nvidia driver installed correctly with no problems what so ever by using the pm.h file and also adding --add-this-kernel to the end of the exec command, but when changing the xorg.conf file for "nvidia" and "glx". i couldnt get back into xorg when i entered init 5 or startx. here is the nvidia log:

    thanks liquid, i was looking for that thread to help spunky out, couldn't find it. yep, 2.6.8.1-10 does manifest the problem. it'll happen in any kernel 2.6.8.1-mm2 or later (mdk's kernel fits the bill).

     

    thanx everybody for helping me out..i saw that thread a while ago when i was looking for a solution to my problem..i tried it once before with the pm.h file but i will give it a shot again..thanx alot...i'll let you knwo how it goes

    when i type in urpmie kernel-source this is wut i get:

     

    One of the following packages is needed:

    1- kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.7-1.mm.6mdk.i586 : The source code for the Linux kernel. (to install)

    2- kernel-tmb-source-2.6.7-2.tmb.6mdk.i586 : The source code for the Linux kernel. (to install)

    3- kernel24-tmb-source-2.4.26-1.tmb.2mdk.i586 : The source code for the Linux kernel. (to install)

    4- kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk.i586 : The source code for the Linux kernel. (to install)

    5- kernel-source-stripped-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk.i586 : The source code of the Linux kernel stripped for post build. (to install)

    What is your choice? (1-5)

    i've read post after post trying to install the nvidia driver on 10.1...first i upgraded the kernel-source but which one do i pick? there are 5 different choices..this is coming off a fresh install of 10.1 community..

     

    on to the next question..everytime i pick a kernel-source then try to install the nvidia driver it says something about wrong ncompatible kernel-source or something of that sort. it still compiles and runs saying it created its own kernel but when i change nvidia and glx in the xorg.conf file , then use init 5 to come back into kde it wont start up.... only way back is to change glx and nvidia back to normal...can anyone help me?

     

    i'm a newb and jus started mandrakelinux 10.1 like last weekend..

     

    :thanks:
