Hello;
I just received a gift of a new video card which is the same model as the one in my computer system. It's a nVidia GeForce 9800GT. Now that I have 2 of them and 2 PCI-E x16 slots, I want to install the card and enable SLI graphics. Well it is apparently more complicated than I first thought. When I installed the card, Kubuntu would boot to a basic x window interface. I've since removed the card and the system is back at the starting point again. I obviously need more information.
I'm currently using nvidia driver 270.41.06 and driving my Dell 2407WFP at the native 1920 x 1200.
What I need is a procedure to set the whole thing up. I know how to install the gfx card, I'm just not sure when; before or after I invoke SLI in the xconf file. Oh btw, since I'm using Kubuntu 11.04, I don't have a graphics config file by default although I can create one, so there's another question: Should I have a graphics config file?
After reading nvidias site and a couple other Linux users, I think I want to run in AFR mode. I understand the mode, but if one of the other modes is better or more stable in Linux, I'm open to those inputs too.
Thanks in advance.
