nVidia

[Ian Porter]

Hi all

I have just got myself a new computer with a nVidia TI 4200 graphics card :), 
(running MD 9.1), but I have tried to install the drivers 
(NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run) for 
it from the nvidia web site and once I have changed the line from "nv" to 
"nvidia" in the XF86Config-4 file and restart X it always displays a black 
screen and does nothing else :(.

I have included the XF86Config-4 file, of course with the "nv" selected 
because other wish I would not be able to startx :). 

Just wondering if there is any silly mistake that I have done ?

I have checked the lspci -n and there is a "10de" 
(01:00.0 Class 0300: 10de:0281 (rev a1)
which means that I have a nvidia card :).

When I quit out of X I get the error of 
(EE) [GLX] : Failed to add GLX Extension (NVIDIA) XFree86 driver not found 

Any advice will be greatfully recieved :)

Probably not the best place to email for this problem since it is nVidia 
driver problem and not KDE but this means that I am unable to use my fav GUI 
:)

Cheers
Ian
