you do not have 3d enabled, ie: nv is driver no nvidia
Just a question. I have e.g. nouveau (nv) on my machine and glxgears is able to run. Is nv better as general thought?
My NVIDIA card is not included anymore in the newest nvidia drivers. GeForce2 MX/MX400. And I never was able or had the time to install the nvidia 96.43.18 driver which would be the driver of choice.
But why not? Not complicated.
Unless things have changed radically in recent times, download & install the kernel source; then download the #96 driver from nVidia site. Easier if you then transfer/copy it into a simple recognisable directory such as ~/temp0 for example.
Do CTRL-ALT-F3; then place yourself in the ~/temp0 directory (or whichever) [cd /home/<your-home-name>/temp0] and do "sh NVIDIA<tab> " and then press RETURN to execute the driver's installation script. Follow the prompts which appear - answer Yes or No.
After the driver is installed, CTRL-ALT-F7 and you are back on your Desktop with nVidia driver installed. Easy-peasy.
Dear Basil,
You were the one who said the install would be easy-peasy ;). Did what you said and are now close to installing the NVIDIA driver. Looks easier but it starts already with the info that I would not have cc or gcc installed. As far as I can find out gcc is there, the kernel dev is there. What to do about cc? Are there other packages that I need to download? Small problems for the experts but I am new to this part of linux.
