| == Installing commercial Nvidia drivers in 64-bit Slackware 13.37 ==
| |
| This tutorial assumes you have a fresh '''full''' install of Slackware 13.37 '''x86_64'''.
| |
|
| |
|
| What you'll need:
| |
|
| |
| *'''NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.06.run''' [Version from official nvidia website as of 4-28-11]
| |
| *'''xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1.txz''' [This package can be found on the slackware 13.37 DVD in /extra]
| |
| *A reboot
| |
|
| |
| Once you've obtained these files, stick them somewhere (for example, /tmp).
| |
|
| |
| To get the Commercial Nvidia driver working you'll need to remove the nouveau driver, and for good measure, make sure it is blacklisted.
| |
|
| |
| Do the following as root:
| |
|
| |
| '''removepkg xf86-video-nouveau'''
| |
| '''installpkg /tmp/xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1.txz'''
| |
| '''chmod a+x /tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.06.run'''
| |
|
| |
| Now it's time to install the NVIDIA Driver:
| |
|
| |
| '''cd /tmp && ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.06.run'''
| |
|
| |
| Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the install. Also be sure to include the 32-bit gl content. (Sorry for lack of detail here, I'll try and add more detail later)
| |
|
| |
| If the driver builds successfully without error then proceed.
| |
|
| |
| Invoke the following:
| |
| '''nvidia-xconfig'''
| |
|
| |
| Allow it to make the change to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| |
|
| |
| Now reboot:
| |
|
| |
| '''reboot'''
| |
|
| |
| Once your system has rebooted ensure that the 'nouveau' driver is NOT present and that the 'nvidia' driver is.
| |
|
| |
| The following command should return nothing:
| |
| lsmod | grep nouveau
| |
|
| |
| Now check for the nvidia driver:
| |
| lsmod | grep nvidia
| |
|
| |
| You should see something like:
| |
| root@slackbox:~# lsmod | grep nvidia
| |
| nvidia 10486926 40
| |
| agpgart 28874 1 nvidia
| |
| i2c_core 19769 2 nvidia,i2c_piix4
