NVidia Linux Drivers and X.org 7.2
Posted on April 26th, 2007 by jorrizza
It seems te people at NVidia didn’t quite get the changes in X.org 7.2 yet. They’ve promised to get it fixed in the near future. If you’re like me and want to install the drivers yourself instead of using your package manager you’ll have to do the following things in order to use the latest NVidia drivers (1.0-9755):
cd /usr/lib ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA* . cd xorg/modules ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/lib* . cd extensions ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so* . cd ../drivers ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so .
Be sure to remove the symlinks before you update your driver.
