New to Linux - question on installing VGA driver
Hello... I just made the switch to Linux (Mandrake 9.2) and I have a few questions to ask, hopefully someone can help me.
I'm trying to install a VGA driver for my Ti-4200 from nVidia. Link: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_...y_ia32_1.0-4496 *Notice the "_ia32_" in the URL, I'm guessing this is for 32 bit processors like my Northwood, am I at the right setup page? Anyway, I install the driver on a username in the Documents directory and do as the directions say. Everything is dandy until I try to type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run". It says basically "file/directory not found". I've typed it exactly as it is given, and copied and pasted... I tried doing the same thing in root. Anyone have a answer for my problem? |

Try entering:
./ NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run Note the ./ (dot slash) in front of the file name. As long as the file is executable, it will run from the present directory. Otherwise, Linus tries to run the command via the PATH environment. |
