Unone : 30/08/04 03:41 PM : Incident created -   I am looking to install the drivers for my geforce card. The drivers need to be installed without the x server running. How do I boot without it starting so I can get the drivers to install? Then how do I start the x server once it is done?

Then login as root, and run the NVidia installer as per directions (Note: You must have the kernel-source package installed to run the NVidia installer - you can get it from any Mandrake mirror, or via 'rpmdrake'). Once you are done, you can reboot and it will go back into GUI mode (runlevel 5). Remember to edit your '/etc/X11/XF86Config-4' as per the NVidia instructions. --------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
