Hi All,

I've managed to get the afternoon off, so I'm taking the time to
upgrade my kernel (using up2date) to  2.4.22-1.2166

However, I know that last time I upgraded, I had to reinstall my
Geforce drivers - so I'm looking to upgrade them to the latest
version as well.

I currently have the following installed:

[root@mailgate new]# rpm -qa | grep nvidia nvidia-glx-1.0.4496-0.fdr.10.1 kernel-module-nvidia-driver-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl-1.0.4496-0.fdr.10.1 kernel-module-nvidia-driver-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl-1.0.4496-0.fdr.10.1

Firstly, I can't recall where I got those rpms from :(

Secondly, I grabbed a URL from another thread on this list and went
to look at the rpms there:
http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/fc1/nvidia-graphics/

There are so many to choose from, that I'm confused as to which to
get.

I have an Althlon XP 1800 and a Geforce 4 Ti (I forget which model)


Can somebody please tell me what to install and ease my aching brain.

Thanks.

I have had similar questions in the past. And have tried a variety of solutions all of which worked okay, but some took more doing then others :) But now http://rpm.livna.org
gets them out pretty quickly. So last evening I installed the new
kernel and got the nvidia kernel module from them using apt-get. It's all working very nicely so far. You can also get the updates for nvidia-glx this way if you need it.
