Does the nvidia drivers (downloaded from nvidia) support or work with the new centos 5 (beta) ? The version of X windows is different I think. Jerry

The version of X windows is different I think.Yes, it does. I have a nvidia quadro something (64Mb) and it works perfectly on CentOS 4.92 AMD64. You need the kernel headers to compile the driver. If you use the binary package from nvidia.com the procedure is exactly the same as in any other version of Linux. I am using DVI so I didn't even have to configure the monitor, it just worked :) Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ What kind of emailer are you?

Im using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run
I have been using atrpms repository with much success installing the latest NVIDIA drivers and other stable software, both in CentOS 5 and SL 4. Currently in my CentOS 5.0 box I have installed these from atrpms: [john at localhost download]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia nvidia-graphics-devices-1.0-5.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-devel-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics-helpers-0.0.18-19.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at nvidia-graphics9755-libs-1.0_9755-86.el5.at [john at localhost download]$
