Thanks John, so, now it's just a mattor of FINDING that particular version for United Linux... *sigh* I'll give it a try.

Okay, I tried to bzip2 the thing, but it only made it 100Kb smaller...now it's only 6.2MB, instead of 6.3MB. I guess that means it's already compressed in whatever way nvidia has of doing it. I'll still put it up on my site if anyone wants it, just say so (it's a bz2 file now).

My motherboard docs was originally a pdf file. They compressed it with rar, making it an autoexecutable. This .exe they compressed again with upx (available also for linux elf programs, on the distro), getting another .exe, which is the one available for downloading. I was quite effective... suprisingly - although complicated (maybe transparent for windows). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Ready for one last shot at this Fred? Go to init 3 Run this command: nvidia-installer --opengl-headers -f -e -f is for force install and e is for expert install. To get more options run nvidia-installer -A for many more options. Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet... Oh, lastly in run level 3 run sax2 and enable 3D then you should be pretty much done. This worked for me. Matt On Fri, 2003-08-15 at 11:51, Fred A. Miller wrote:

snip I just do what the SuSE Nvidia HowTo says, but after using Sax2 I always have to edit the generated XF86Config and replace the driver "nv" with "nvidia". Otherwise the procedure works fine for me. Geoff

A 'couple' of questions. Are you able to get a console when you press CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 or do you get a black screen? Do you get a flashing multi-coloured screen when you press CTRL-ALT-F1 or when shutting down? Which CPU are you running, an Intel or and Athlon? -- Understanding only begins with the act of perception.
