myharrism : 09/05/04 03:53 PM : Incident created -   Does the 10.0 Community edition install NVidia drivers for you, or are you supposed to do it yourself? I have tried installing the drivers for the GeForce2 Go. When running startx I get a sheet of errors including: NV: Could not open control device /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory) (EE) NVIDIA(0) Failed to initialize NVIDIA kernel module! etc...

To install the full proprietary NVidia driver, download it from http://www.nvidia.com , and follow the directions. --------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
myharrism : 11/05/04 05:50 PM : More info provided -   Thanks for the reply. My final solution was: Install kernel: 2.6.3-4mdk as per Mandrake advisory. Install latest NVidia driver. Amend XFConfig as per usual. All ok now.
