I might load it this weekend just to experiment with it. too bad I already activated Vista. According to their website, I should be able to activate as many times as I want though.

One always has to wonder about MS, I mean how many times have they written code to make other peoples software run slower or be less stable. Of course honestly, most of the issues I have had in Windows have been from MS Office of all things, lol! MS has always been sort of an odd company to me, they are not so much innovators as they are the best followers in the world, and if they can't follow they will try to buy you and claim those as their innovations. I mean heck, the latest media player is a copy of itunes a couple years after it came out, but they added some nice features as well.

Okay, I'm just rambling with no real point now.

PCLinuxOS

How do you shut down X to install a new Nvidia driver? None of the online help guides are very clear on this.

Yeah, I tried that earlier and it just took me back to the standard login screen. I couldn't install the driver from there.

In a very general sense:

You install the files and the CtlAltBksp just restarts the X server with whatever your new config is.

Try:

Installing And configuring nVidia on PCLINUXos 2007 ...

1- Go to Synaptic Package Manager in System - Administration Menu.
2- Press on Search Icon on Synaptic Menu.
3- Fill in the Word nvidia and press ok. ( Look in Description and Name )
4- Choose (NVIDIA kernel module for GeForceFX and newer NVIDIA GPUs)
5- accept the requirements.
6- press on Apply.
7- Logoff and relogin

Thats all

Enjoy ..

Can't use package manager as the only Nvidia drivers it has are out of date for my card. I need to install the one directly from the Nvidia website. Manual install.

I am limited to 1024x768 on the current driver and that just won't cut it for me.

Also, it won't let me install the driver until X has stopped so Ctrl Alt Backspace isn't working the way you are stating.

What card do you have? Is it brand new?

I've heard (I'd have to look it up) that the 8800 series cards don't play well with the Nvidia made drivers.

BOOTING in RUNLEVEL 3 ( Trick with Lilo )



Sometimes when troubleshooting you will want to boot in run-level 3 ( This is the non-graphical mode ) because X is using the wrong driver or the system fails to boot the usual way, hanging on some module it fails to load.

Here is a simple trick for the people using Lilo as their boot-loader:
Imagine your Lilo menu usually shows you:

PCLos
Mandrake
Fedora
Debian
Slackware

And it is PCLos you want to boot in run-level 3 . . . .

When you get the lilo-screen where you can choose what distro to boot press the Esc-key and you will get a prompt . . . at that prompt type:

CODE
PCLos 3


( Basically it is the name of the menu entry you want to boot and a 3 ) . . . . It will then boot in level 3 . . . then you can login as "root" ( not "su" ) and do "XFdrake" to set the correct driver for your graphics card, or any other troubleshooting operation you need to perform.
When you are ready you can either type "reboot" or log out as root with Ctrl+D, then log in as user and type "startx", . . . and it will magically continue booting from level 3 to level 5.


NOTE: Sure you can type "PCLos 1" too so it boots in "single user mode" giving you a root-prompt, so in case you forgot the root-password you can just type "passwd" and change it to one you can remember next time you need it.
