[plug] Do any of you need help with Nvidia drivers?

[John Knight]

I was having a LOT of trouble installing them until I found out about the 
"--force" command. I noticed that at linuxnebie.org, Nvidia drivers are a 
common question, so in case anyone needs to know, here you go:

Donload the rpm files and stick 'em in an easy to remember directory.

Go to it and type:

Note that x refers to the version number of your filename
rpm -ivh NVIDIA_kernel.x.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh --force NVIDIA_GLX.x.i386.rpm

Now edit your Xfree86 config:
mcedit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

and change it from
driver "nv"

to
driver "nvidia"

If there's a # before load "GLX", delete the #.

Hope I was a help to someone.
