dude67 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Nowdays, the install procedure does NOT require opening vim to make changes to X11/xorg.conf, it is done by the install process. Cheers. John. I've noticed that, and I'm sorry - I should have mentioned that. The few times I did it like this I always noted that the configuration was OK without me fiddling with the config-file. I just thought these instructions (the steps before the changes to the configuration) might do the trick if he's having probs with the installation. By far the easiest way of installing the new drivers is through MCC (if the latest can already be found from the repos). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 we haven't done updates for the NVIDIA driver in the official repos yet. The official repos are still at the last release in the 97xx series, upstream has gone on to the 100.x series. Certain third party repositories may well have this version available. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I have found the Nvidia install to be so easy that I have used it continuously for the past 2years and as a result even have the latest driver. I am no computer geek but I find most of the routine to be mostly click OK. It can't be too hard if I can do it. :D Cheers. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
