Install the NVIDIATNT2M64 vintage graphics card driver in Ubuntu

I recently installed Ubuntu, which is very good. It is very convenient to install software. In the past, it was always compiled in FC. Although yum can also be installed, even the network speed has been too slow. Generally, it is time-consuming to download and install it by using proz .. yesterday, I received a total of 15 CDs and gave me one. By the way, I installed them. It feels good .. Run very smoothly on my 1.7 GHz/256 MB/4 GB, much faster than XP-SP2 .. its apt-get is even worse than that of niub. The speed after the source is changed is generally 10.

Run very smoothly on my 1.7 GHz/256 MB/4 GB, much faster than XP-SP2 ..

Its apt-get is even worse than that of niub. After the source is changed, the speed is generally 100B/S .. even 2 m adsl .. after installing the routine software, I finally installed the video card driver.

Follow the instructions in this document

Sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx // install the driver

Sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings // install the setup program

Sudo cp/etc/X11/xorg. conf/etc/X11/xorg. conf-backup // copy to xorg. conf-backup, backup

Sudo nvidia-glx-config enable // The settings take effect.

Sudo gedit/usr/share/applications/NVIDIA-Settings.desktop // open (or create) the file with gedit

The added content is:

[Desktop Entry]

Name = Nvidia Settings

Comment = Nvidia Settings

Exec = nvidia-settings

Icon =

Terminal = false

Type = Application

Categories = Applications; System;

However, after I install it in this way, the test fails with glxinfo and glxgears ..

Cause: the 7676 driver is installed in this way, but 7676 no longer supports TNT2 graphics card.

NVIDIA drivers support up to 7174 of TNT2.

The reinstallation method is as follows:

Sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy

Sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

Nvidia-glx-config enable

As for the Nvidia-Settings.desktop content, just follow the above to establish a line.

After the installation is complete, change the Driver in/etc/X11/xorg. conf from "nv" to "nvidia", save and quit.

The NVIDIA logo is displayed after the device is turned on ..

Of course, you can compile and install the program running NVIDIA-Linux ***-7174 **. run.
