NVidia legacy

Post by jimmyf » 2007/04/26 08:30:43

I have an old PCI 64MB NVidia card that I would like to get working, on my fedora systems it was childsplay.
yum -y install kmod-nvidia-legacy
That was it!! Easy.
The above does not work with Centos 5. What I think i need to do is download:-
xorg-x11-nvidia-drv sr.rpm
kmod-nvidia-legacy src.rpm
livna-config-display src rpm

Then try to rebuild the above for my system. Trouble is I cant find the src.rpms at all.
If anyone has any suggestions to getting the card to work I'll be much obliged!!!

Thanks in advance.

If you want to install the Nvidia driver from source, then check this page for the appropriate driver.

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html

You'll also need gcc, kernel-devel, and kernel-headers installed.
