Ok. I have a Geforce3 TI 200. I ran the NVchooser and downloaded the right Kernel and GLX package. When I run the Kernel package I get
</home/dmueller/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.rh73up.athlon.rpm;echo RESULT=$?
error: failed dependencies:
kernel = 2.4.18-3 is needed by NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.rh73up
RESULT=1

Now I know I need that kernel. But how do I find it, and what is the procedure for installing it?

thanks guys. Damn i hate being a windows guy..

Try the tarballs. Very easy. Just install the kernel sources, and its a piece of cake.

What kernel version are you currently running?

:D Brian

Wont i still need the kernel even if i use the tars?
I am not sure what kernel i am using. I just installed 7.2 from cd. What is an easy command to find out?

[mdwatts]

I always receive the message that kernel 2.2.? is required whenever I install the nvidia kernel rpm on my distro.

I just use

rpm -Uvh --nodeps packagename.rpm

and all works fine.

The rpm package should not require the kernel sources.

Kick ***! So after I run the Kernel and GLX I have to edit the X86 config and thats it? Will it require a reboot?

[afterthefall]

After you have the drivers installed and XF86Config edited the only thing you'll have to do is restart the xserver from the command line.

Welcome to linux man. We don't reboot unless we want to.

sweet. Oh, is there a command to restart X from terminal without logging out and logging back in?
thx

[chris_i386]

Switch into X and hit Control Alt Backspace at the same time.
That kills X, and a new session should be started automatically.
