I've installed nv driver and run
sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
But the graphics card is recognized as "Framebuffer vesa".
lenove thinkpad t61p's graphics cards is nvidia quadro 740m.
Your procedure was wrong.
The nv driver, is the opensource driver, and You do'nt need to execute "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia", because this parameters for sax2 are for the propietary driver. The propietary driver appear in xorg.conf as "nividia", and the opensource driver appear as "nv".
For installing the propietary driver, You can download it from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html You must has installed the kernel source, and must go to init 3, and executing the file with "sh nvidia*.run" as root. Later after completed the nvidia script, execute "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia"
Sorry for I don't say very clear. I just installed the nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com and run "sh nvidia*.run" . And the graphics card still recognized as "Framebuffer vesa"
