如何安装NVIDIA芯片的显卡驱动？

flysail

小弟是头一次安装Nvidia驱动程序，看了很多有关帖子好像都不是我要的方法(注：系统搜索的驱动文件不同)，请大师们指点一下好吗？

我运行 sh NVchooser.sh后提示
Please download and install the following files:
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm
此时我已将这两个文件下载了。
接着该如何做了，谢谢！

本方法对所有NVIDIA的显卡都有效。前提是必须把kernel source安装上，如果弟兄们升级有错误可能就是gcc或者kernel source没有安装上。如果出现问题，就要把错误信息发上来，这样才能高效解决问题。发帖时不要忘记说自己的所用的版本，以及硬件信息等。多谢。

1]下载显卡的驱动tar包，只要是NVIDIA的，这两个包都适用：
www.linuxsir.cn/driver/nvidia/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.tar.gz
www.linuxsir.cn/driver/nvidia/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.tar.gz

安装：[经quanlinking兄指教，make时是有先后顺序的，要先make  NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123]
# tar zxvf NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.tar.gz
# tar zxvf NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.tar.gz
# cd NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123
# make
# cd NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123
# make


把/etc/X11中的XF86Config-4文件中的nv改成nvidia。其它注销项目，请见我的XF86Config-4文件。有些版本没有这个文件,可以修改XF86Config文件.

非常感谢北南南北兄帮助，/etc/X11/XF86Config-4文件是对应Redhat7.3的，刚才我忘记说正在使用Redht8.0了，Redhat8.0下是不是修改/etc/X11/XF86Config文件呢？和原来的XF86Config-4相比有何区别呢？谢谢！

北南南北

兄弟不必客气，看我写的帖子就明白了。其实没有什么差别，你就改我加红字的地方就行了，我写的应该是比较清楚。

flysail

谢谢！我还想问一下，如果编译修改后X不能启动的话有什么补救方法吗？如何恢复到原来的状态 。谢谢！

北南南北

忘记说了一下,无论改什么文件都要事先备份一下.这样就是出了问题,我们也能一下还原.
方法如下:［以RedHat 8.0的XF86Config文件来说明］

这是备份
#cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.BAK

如果我们升级失败了，就用下面这个命令来还原
#cp /etc/X11/XF86Config.BAK /etc/X11/XF86Config
这样就万无一失了。

flysail

非常感谢！

flysail

按照您上面说的步骤一一做完后。我的X不能启动了。现象是执行startx后只有左上角有一个很小的红方块闪呀闪的。什么都看不到。难道我修改的有问题吗？帮忙看一看。谢谢！

还有 我在恢复时直接复制原XF86Config文件还不行，必须把其中的Load  "glx"注释掉才能启动。这和以前有什么区别吗？

北南南北

#Load "freetype" (好像Redhat8.0中文SIMSUN字体用到它所以我没注释掉)
#Load "type1"

这样试一下,如果把gxl注掉就不能用3D功能了。
