NVIDIA Linux Display Driver v1.0-7664

[ghaefb]

New version of NVIDIA proprietary Linux Display Driver - IA32, Version: 1.0-7664 has been released.
Main improvement: Added OpenGL 2.0 Support.

For more info read here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-7664.html

[rayyes]

it seems that everyone is downloading the file now....
im using kget and it downloads faster than simply using firefox (if it stalls pause it then start again)

[Clunixchit]

I have just installed nvidia 7664.
i did my usual procedure for the installation

but with
modprobe nvidia
i saw it installed the 7174 kernel stuff

unfortunately ive deleted the 7174 driver version
so i stood right in front of those warnings

so ive removed the previous kernel module
reinstalled the driver
everything went smooth

only to enable the 3D accelerator
i performed
sudo yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-`(uname -r)`

here wat id received !!!

--> Running transaction check

Install: kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.11-1.27_FC3.i686 0:1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3 - livna-stable

Is this ok [y/N]:

how do i know which version of nvidia i have installed?
(knowing i have installed 7664)

There are multiple places you can check... It perplexes me that no one ever knows anything outside of glxgears.


glxinfo

Your GLX Information. Simply run this command at a prompt.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Your X.org log. Simply open this file in any text editor.

[Clunixchit]

here you are, the two files describe the command you suggested

[Clunixchit]

at booting
nvidia driver not loading

[Clunixchit]

Ive revert back to the previous driver 7174 and also moved to the previous kernel *_14
on my laptop its more stable than *_27

[mooninite]

here you are, the two files describe the command you suggested
Can you not read them? *shrug*


from glxinfo
OpenGL version string: 2.0.0 NVIDIA 76.64

You are running version 7664...

[Clunixchit]

thats ive downloaded and installed, but when i performed "modprobe nvidia" it mount the 7174 one

as i said ive revert back to 7174 but now using 3Ddesktop, my laptop makes a spinning noise

[bobitavu]

When will those drivers be available on rpm? (such as those on livna repo)
Or where can I find the kernel source of latest kernel on fedora 3? (Is the kernel-source still required to run the driver script?)
Thanks.

[foolish]

The kernel source isn't needed for anything besides rebuilding the kernel. Livna.org now offers rpms in it's stable repository. See www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia or the rpms: http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.stable/

[bobitavu]

Thanks for your post, but I already installed the 1.0-7174 version. I wanted to know if there were such a rpm on livna for the latest version as I said in my post.

[bobitavu]

I recompiled the latest kernel, and installed latest nvidia drivers with it ...

[Clunixchit]

have you been able to install the 3D support with it?

[bobitavu]

yes ! kernel 2.6.11.11 + latest nvidia driver

Just to let everybody know, I just noticed on linuX-gamers.net (http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=831) with the latest version of the Nvidia drivers, 1.0-7664, there is a new option, Coolbits, you can add to xorg.conf to enable overclocking using nvidia-settings. Phoronix has a guide here (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=197&num=1).

[ghaefb]

Thanks SuperNu !
This is great article, I didn't know that Coolbits is now avalible on Linux.

Great job NVIDIA.

Saw the info on the driver main page but I couldn't find any info on it, thanks alot :), coolbits worked great in windows.

You are going to have to wait until the repository you use updates to the latest Nvidia drivers. The best bet would be either email the repository maintainers or build the driver yourself using the .spec file in the .src.rpm. Personally, I use the .run file from Nvidia.

Hi,

im trying to install Nvidia 7664 drivers under Fedora 4 - fresh installed.
I used the .run files ..... from nvidia ....
