So I think that this may be the cause of all my problems in getting the nvidia drivers. Which will hopefully solve my possitioning problem :)
It's interesting that they would drop support for older video cards in newer drivers. But will see. So now to figure out what lagacy driver to get *sigh*
Ok well I've downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run which as per its readme file supports my card.
Yet durring installation I get the same error that it does not support it and to use a legacy driver.
I also get an error about nvidia.ko cannot be compiled because of an invalid kernel-source specified. I used both the sym link /usr/src/linux and the direct path /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15/
Why do you create unnecessary hassles for yourself? :-). No need for the path statement which you may get wrong. What I do, as root, is create a Temp0 directory then put the nVidia driver into it. Then I do the telinit 3 thing and enter this Temp0 directory where I then type sh NVIDIA....run and away it all goes- and the driver is compiled! [rest pruned] Cheers -- All answers questioned here.
