I have been having trouble installing display drivers on computer3.
I have RedHat 8.0 on an AMD XP1600 (1.4Ghz). I updated the box to the latest
kernel 2.4.18_18.8.0 using up2date. Next, I downloaded the RPM drivers from
NVIDIA as seen below.
When I tried to install them, I got the error below, and now I cannot get into
X. Moreover when I try rpm -e the result is that the rpm is not found. RPM
-qa results in the same.
Any tips?
[root at computer3 zetups]# rpm -Uvh
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up_2.4.18_18.8.0.i686.rpm
