The proprietary driver works well but it needs a bit of care. On RedHat systems that are regularly booted, the following lines in /etc/rc.local result in the necessary parts of the driver being re-installed automatically after booting: | |||
if [ ! -h /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so ]; then | |||
echo "re-installing NVIDIA driver. This takes some time. Ignore any warnings." | |||
/root/NVIDIA.run --no-network -s -n --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.24 | |||
if | fi | ||
if [ ! -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ]; then | |||
echo "installing NVIDIA kernel module. This takes some time. Ignore any warnings." | |||
/root/NVIDIA.run --no-network -s -K -n | |||
