-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you download the binary module from nvidia.com the install procedure will modify your xorg.conf for you. Simply run as root or with sudo: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2.run
Of course the number will vary slightly if you have a newer version of the driver. You can reboot once the driver is installed *OR* or you can restart the gui login manager. For gnome type (as root or with sudo) /etc/init.d/gdm restart for KDE it is: /etc/init.d/kdm restart To download the driver I use another workstation to browse the nvidia site, then I ssh to the box in question and use wget to download the driver.
