ok im trying to install the Nvidia driver to get 3d accelration so i could play opengl games on my kubuntu. im following this guide: (method2)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074
I did exactly as said except for the "CC=gcc-3.4" because i used "CC=gcc-4.0" or it wouldn't compile. everything went perfect except for when it was time to load X again. Because i started getting errors.
btw i also changed
to "nvidia" instead of "nv" (tried doing what method1 said). but still as in both ways it wouldn't work.
i fixed this for now with the command "dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg". but when i enter games with opengl enabled such as Globulation 2 i get this error:
im sure that the driver is installed because when i tried reinstalling it said that there is arleady a previous installation of the driver which had to be removed and that was version 81.78.
im currently running Kubuntu Flight CD4 x86 which is fully updated. the driver that i was trying to install was Nvidia x86 v81.78. my vga is a Geforce 4 mx440. if more information is needed just ask.
any help is greatly appreciated
Edit: I've been trying with different configurations. and i was wrong as 'nv' it works
and loads but still no opengl. i think as 'nv' it uses the driver that is arleady installed with kubuntu. and as 'nvidia' it uses the new driver. i also commented the "#Load Dri" and is working too. the only problem is when i change "nv" to "nvidia".
is there a command or something i can do to tell X where to find the driver??
