Sometimes we envy windows for simple settings to play the perfect DVD. Now I tell you that you can play the perfect DVD in LINUX. first, let's talk about my configuration: gigabyte intel845 motherboard, 1.5 GCPU, TNT2 video card, AC97 integrated sound card, sony DVDrom, system RedHat8.0, and then start our installation journey.
1. Install the latest nvidia video card driver. mplayer requires the video card to have 3D acceleration to play the full screen and smooth playback of the DVD:
1. Check the kernel: # uname-
2. For example, my kernel is 2.14.18-14, to http://www.nvidia.com/download the official driver file:
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up.i686.rpm
3. Install the driver:
# Rpm-ivh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up.i686.rpm
# Rpm-ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm
4. Configure the XF86Config file:
# Vi/etc/X11/XF86Config
Find Driver "nv" or Driver "vesa" and change to: Driver "nvidia" (press the letter a to change to the insert status, and move the cursor to modify it)
In addition, if the following configuration is available, comment out (that is, add the symbol # before it #):
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
Press ESC, enter Colon:, enter wq after colon, and press enter to save and exit.
Restart to see the Nvidia startup interface.
5. Failure Recovery Method: if the driver fails to be installed and cannot enter X, it is in character mode.
# Rpm-e NVIDIA_GLX
# Rpm e NVIDIA_kernel-1.0
Use the 4th-point method to change the original modification.
# Startx
