fahd Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I have installed mdk 9.2 but unfortunately it did not recognize my nvidia geforce mx2 400. When I login as a root and run XFdrake, I see the proper settings (generic nvidia DDR, HP 1199A 21 monitor) but XFdrake gives the following error: An error occured: (EE). Unable to determine the screen layout. Try to change parameters. I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run file but I still get the same message: nvidia is not precompiled in kernel. Does it mean that every user should RECOMPILE the KERNEL in order to make md 9.2 package usable for x server. Is not it comical ? :woops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Remember that you must have the kernel sources installed in order for the nvidia driver program to compile a custom driver for your machine. For mysterious reasons, the kernel sources do not come with the download edition of 9.2. Download and install the sources, and the nvidia program works fine. Perhaps we could talk anon into posting the sources on our download sight! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
