I just tried to install some nVidia drivers for Mandrake 9.0.
I downloaded the tar glx and kernel files off the nVidia website.
I had no trouble unpacking the tar files. I then went into the directory's and typed 'make install' everything appeared to work correctly.
The problem happened when I attempted to start the X server again. Problem: it doesn't work, and with limited linux knowledge I don't think I have what it takes to fix it without any help.
As I can't access the README file anymore, I am unsure as to what to do next, it said something about an XFree Config file that I have to modify but I don't know the commands in order to modify the file from the Konsole, or what to do with it for that matter.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I don't want to stay in the evil Windows XP any longer.
Thanks.
