Back
Hello. I have gone back to the start here.
Not being particularly computer literate I need basic help.
I have a version of redhat9 using a matrox g550 and everything works fine.
I have bought a pny nvidia quadro fx500 and want to install it.
I have tried putting the card in the machine and everything went to pot.
- Should I install the drivers in the current system, and update the XF86
config file and then put the card in the machine.
- To install the driver the docs say I should:
1.exit the X server and set default run level so I will boot to a vga
console and not boot directly to X.
Can anybody help by giving me a step by step guide. On a clean installation
I can 't even get a graphical interface. I was lead to believe that nvidia
were the most compatible cards with linux but I am starting to doubt.
I know that I am asking a lot here but am desperately lost.
Thanks
Howard
