3d driver, panel applet updater and rpmdrake

[neighborlee]

driver: how to do easily install nvidia driver without being a paid subscriber to the club,,or do I ? ;)

 

panel applet: is broke,,says to contact mandriva support and Im wondering if this is a known issue that 'udpating' manually via rpmdrake fixes ?

 

rpmdrake: VERY slow when doing a 'update' and when adding a new repo....beyond that it seems fine.

 

thx

Hi There!

I ve always had nvidia cards and to install them drivers with mdv do as follow :

 

- go to easyurpmi website and follow instructions including plf stuff

- go to drakconf and click on "look at and config hardware"

-click on the video card and run config tools

-he will tell u "there is a manufacturer driver available do u wanna use it?" say yes (er type it)

-then log off and log back on and it should be done.

 

Otherwise gor to http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/configuration2006.html

a lot is explained there too

 

Good luck, it is quite easy,
