Nvidia Setup notes on Ubuntu 6.06

Test environment:

System: Ubuntu 6.06 Desktop LTS

CPU:P4 2.4C

Memory: 1G

Graphics card: Eishisha MX440

ray@ray-desktop:~$ Lspci | grep NVidia

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible Controller:nvidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev A3)

=====================================================

Some students said that the system installed after the display is very normal, resolution is high enough. And when you look at the system configuration, you find that the video card is properly identified. So why do you have to install the video card driver again? Because:

1. Have you noticed the appalling 3D acceleration performance after the System screen protection was started. Trust me, when you're done, you'll find that the coarse, slow-moving 3D objects are actually pretty. It's so beautiful.

2. Be prepared for playing games.

=====================================================

First, we found these two tutorials on the wiki:

[url]http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/installation Nvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29[/url]

[Url]http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/nvidia Graphics installation Configuration guide? Highlight=%28nvidia%29[/url]

Set according to the first article. After several failures follow the second set, although the steps are not exactly the same but successful. Here's the actual procedure, because the wiki is more than my actual operation. And the results are not quite the same. The following is just a record of my own installation process, not a standard process. Gao people see, why and Standard step is different?

The wiki is configured below the graphical interface, and this is followed by the above steps.

First, the wiki says "allow the restricted package", but I haven't seen it for half a day, so this step didn't work. I used the source of the "Quick Setup Guide" inside that station in the Gulf of a university.

I'm installing a thing that doesn't know if it's used,

Click [System]-->[System Management]-->[new Package Manager] (who got the name?) )

The system requests the password, completes in the interface to click "Searches" to enter "the Linux-restricted-modules" in the inside

Find a bunch of things, find "Nvidia-kernel-source" in the inside and click "Mark for Installation" and click Apply. Reboot after installation as required by system. This step is not in the wiki, I installed it to confirm that my "restricted package" has been allowed. So it's useless and I don't know.

Turn on the "new software package Manager" search "NVIDIA-GLX" right click "Mark for Installation" and click Apply.

Attention!! I have failed several times here: Do not install nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig these two packages. Because some prawns on the Internet ask to install them. The reality is "do not install other packages in Ubuntu 6.06 lts because it deletes the NVIDIA-GLX package." "I started not to see it, so I did it a few times without success.
