Re: Need Driver for Nvidia Riva

I have already checked the NVIDIA web site. All the have are tar.gz files. I don't know how to compile those files yet. I'm looking for an RPM file with the update. or for someone to tell me how to compile and make the tar.gz files

Re: Need Driver for Nvidia Riva

To compile any software

tar xvfz <whatever.tar.gz>
cd <directory>
./configure
make
make install

All the best you might be able to find the RPM @ http://rpmfind.net/ ..
