Sharing the process of successfully installing the 9600gt video card driver under Fedora9

I have been depressed about installing the 9600gt graphics card driver on Fedora9 a few days ago! Now it's done! Now I want to share with you the installation process! Explicit drive version: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run modification # vi/etc/ininttab to the last line id: 5: initdefault: changed to id: 3: initdefault: First # rpm-qa | grepkernel found no kernel-dev

I have been depressed about installing the 9600gt graphics card driver on Fedora 9 a few days ago! Now it's done!

Now I want to share with you the installation process!

Explicit drive version: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run

Modify # vi/etc/ininttab to change the last line id: 5: initdefault: to id: 3: initdefault:

First, # rpm-qa | grep kernel finds that there is no kernel-devel library;

No disk is installed. Solution # yum install kernel-devel-y install this library;

Last install driver./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run -- kernel-source-path/usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.6-55. fc9.i686

Note: Make sure to include the following kernel path parameters. Otherwise, the system will still prompt that the kernel cannot be found, leading to installation failure!

During the installation process, the system will still prompt that the kernel does not match. If you want to download it from nvidia, select no!

Okay! The long-awaited progress bar has appeared!

Finally, if you want to back up the config file, select yes in case of any backup!

Installed successfully!

Modify # vi/etc/ininttab to the previous id: 5: initdefault:

Restart the system to run # glxinfo | grep rendering: direct rendering: Yes

Run # glxinfo | grep direct display direct rendering: Yes

Test # glxgears

If it is successful, it is recommended to install the nvidia-xconfig-1.0 x server's auxiliary Configuration tool!

I hope this article will be helpful to beginners! I have been in touch with linux for just a week. Don't laugh! Thank you!
