<div dir="ltr">Thank you for the fast answer:) I have newer gotten such fantastic response before:D The only thing is that I do not know how to work this"# rpm -ivh <a href="http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm" target="_blank">http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm</a>"... where do i enter this text? Hope you bear with me, I have never tried anything like this before. I suspect that I have to boot up, press "a" then "3", and then it should come to some interface where I can write this commands!?! I consider myself as an advanced user in the windows environment, but this is all new to me.. but I like to learn, and I think of myself as an fast learner... so if you just help me a little more, I should get this:) Thank you all allot, you are the greatest:D Kind regards: Bjørn Ivar <div class="gmail_quote">2008/8/9 Marcelo M.

To install the NVIDIA driver there are 2 ways: easy and hard. The easy (and recommended) is to use the livna repository[1]. First you have to install the rpm from the repository: # rpm -ivh <a href="http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm" target="_blank">http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm</a> or download the rpm, and the install it. Then search for the driver: # yum search nvidia Install the package. Update the system: yum update Or the hard way. I think you'll need the kernel sources. As root, disable the X11: in a terminal, type: init 3. Go where you put the driver and type sh NVIDIA... reboot the system.

That certainly bring some light to my problems:) The only thing now is that I am not sure how to install that driver.. Should I start the text interface and install the driver from there? If so, how? I read on the nvidia page some command "sh NVIDIA-Linux-86-173.14.12-pkg1.run"... The only problem is that they was so sure about me knowing WHERE to write that, that did not bother to mention that! P.s.( After installing the nvidia linux driver, will my windows nvidia driver still work? I suppose it do, but just to be sure...) </div> 2008/8/9 Marcelo M.

And return to the stripes, press, "ctrl"+"alt"+F7. You said that you driver is 175.19, but seems that the latest driver in NVIDIA page is 173.14[1]. Did you updated your system including the driver from Livna? Are you sure about the configuration of the monitor?

I really do not know what that is or how to do it. I am as new to Linux as they come!!:( Could it have something to do with the refresh rate of the screen? It is currently set to 75 Hertz, (that is the highest possible on my screen)... no, that is probably not it, but at this momement I really do not know what to do!!!

I have a serious problem with (all) Linux distributions included Fedora. After installing or use of live dvd, I cannot see anything but stripes on my screen. I have a pentium 4 with 1GB RAM and Nvidia card. I have tried to install the latest Nvidia driver, but to no help at all. I have tried many versions of Linux, and also both the i386 and the one for 64, but all with the same result!!! If anyone could help me with this problem, I would be wery pleased as I would wery much like to go from crappy winows xp to Linux!
