Downloading NVIDIA drivers!

<< < (2/4) > >>

voidmain:
And of course if you have an Althlon, you'll want to use the Athlon NVIDIA drivers.  That's what I used.  And if in doubt you can grab the *src.rpm files and just let the system build them according to what it detects you have.

Agent007:

It made my Linux box less stable than windows.  No, I'm not kidding.  I wiped it and went back to the stock XF86 driver.

Why the hell do they need to make the driver binary only???  It's not like it would hurt their  business if it were GPL.  I don't think that 3dfx's support of open source was a contributor to their demise.

Agent007:
Does the NVIDIA driver actually make the system unstable? R u sure?

thanks,
