NV Video Drivers

[Ultima]

Hello,

I'm using Kubuntu 5.10 with KDE 3.5 Beta, and was wondering if anyone could give me a link to a guide or some advice pertaining to getting NVidia card drivers to work.

My system specs are:

P-II 400
384MB Ram
NVidia Riva TNT2 Pro (Considered legacy by Nvidia now)

I tried following the instructions in the Ubuntu Wiki, but I had no success. Any possible advice with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: NV Video Drivers

the easiest way to install the drivers is thru synaptic . Just search "Nvidia" and instal the folllowing packages

xserver-xorg-driver-nv
nvidia-kernel-common
NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org driver
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-9-386 (this would vary slightly for some peoples architecture)

and optional but useful

nvidia-settings,

Its just that easy

Once you have the above installed, what then?

I tried to issue "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" , but it tells me the command is not found!
