How to install the Nvidia driver on the Geforce6200 video card under Fedora8

The Linux community provides some help for you to learn about Fedora. After installing Fedora8, I found that the card driver provided by Fedora8 is very general, and it does not feel very good for my Geforce6200 video card support, even if 3D is not enabled, computer operation slows down. So I have the following (my opinion on installing the nvidia driver): first, go to http://www.nvidia.cn/download the driver. Next I will go to nvidia-linux-x86-100.14.19-p

The Linux community provides some help for you to learn about Fedora. After installing Fedora 8, I found that the built-in video card driver of Fedora8 is very general and it does not feel very good for my Geforce 6200 video card support, even if 3D is not enabled, computer operation slows down. Therefore, I have the following (my opinion on installing the nvidia driver ):

First, go to http://www.nvidia.cn/download the driver. My next is nvidia-linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run.
Make sure that the system has installed kernel-devel. Run the yum check: sudo yum info kernel-devel.
If not, use yum to install:

Sudo yum install kernel-devel
Modify runlevel in/etc/inittab as 3 () under root permission)
Restart the computer and log on as the root user. Run the following command: cd/usr/lib/xorg/
Ln-s ../xorg/lib
Sh ~ /Download/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9631-pkg1.run -- x-prefix =/usr/lib/xorg
After installation, restart and modify the content in/etc/X11/xorg. conf (remember to back up): # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# Nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister @ builder3) Wed Sep 12 14:29:35 PDT 2007
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Repeat it again. If there is any problem, restore the/etc/X11/xorg. conf backup, and explore it!
In addition:
The font of the firefox interface is relatively small. Solution: Enter about in the address bar: configset layout.css. dpi to 0.
In Firefox, the old saying that there is no flash-plugin, let him automatically download very slowly, I use this method to download, soon: sudo rpm-ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Sudo yum install flash-plugin
