Nvidia drivers Subject description: precompiled SFS and getnvidia installer/PET/SFS builder |
|
Nvidia drivers contains glx libraries which may conflict with those in the main sfs. In making Nvidia driver sfs, I made rc.nvidia script to collect these links.
I have made Nvidia drivers in SFS for some Puppy/Puplets.
You can build the latest driver automatically. For the older versions, you need manually download the archive from the vender site.
TROUBLESHOOT: when GL library failed
getnvidia-1.0.pet to install NVIDIA driver / build SFS/PET.
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/
You need devx and kernel source package to build the kernel module. Required internet connection.
Recommended to build with new pupsave of 512MB or larger, or in RAM mode. I am not quite sure but If your RAM is less than 640MB, needs 500MB swap.
- Load devx package
- Load kernel source package
- Install getnvidia.
- Exit X and down to the command prompt
- Type 'getnvidia'.
NVIDIA Graphics tip is not essential to build (thanks to pemasu). You can build on another PC if the target PC has not enough power and/or internet connection.
For 64bit Puppies, Fatdog 64 or Lighthouse 64, try
getnvidia-1.0-64.pet
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/pup64/
Note: the kernel source for the Fatdog 64 or Lighthouse 64 is contained in its each devx package.
PRECOMPILED:
You can find some pre-compiled SFS'es at

http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/lupu/opt/
Load, but do not run the nVidia Settings at this point of time, just exit the sfs_load, and run xorgwizard or reboot PC following the coming message.
Slacko 5.3.3 may need to reboot PC with your session saved before the xorgwizard.
NOTE: This sfs does not contain SDL nor glxgears. Install 'mesa-utils' or proper package if you want.
Install mesa package as for slacko if you need.

Add kernel module for Wary-5.2.2 (2.6.32-uni):
nvidia-glx-sdl-285.05.09-2.sfs ... For Puppy 4.3 and later, Wary and Lucid. (nvidia-glx + libGLU and SDL)
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/
But it does not support Racy. It seems unstable for recent kernels.
A gimp issue with the nvidia driver and the Warry-5.2.

I tested you latest sfs in Slacko 5.3.1, and I still haven't reached my goal to play Torcs on Slacko.
My card is a geforce 8400M GS which is listed in the supported card list.
Code: | # glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual |
Code: | # torcs
Visual Properties Report
------------------------
Compatibility mode, properties unknown.
GLUT: Fatal Error in torcs-bin: visual with necessary capabilities not found. |
Thanks for any help
Sigmund

NVidia driver SFS on Slacko |

Make sure using the sfs for Slacko 5.3.x both kernel 2.6.37.6 and 2.6.39.4. (contains glx, OpenGL and SDL)
nvidia-glx-sdl-290.10-slacko.sfs (Update: 21-Dec-2011)
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/pup5/
I ran Slacko 5.3.1 MAIN in RAM mode and loaded the sfs above and it shows glxgears with no problem. My card is GeForce 8800GTX.
It seems some conflict of the opengl/xcb. The problem maybe also comes from that the slacko is compiled "no-xcb" libs.(EDIT: Slacko 5.3.1 has xcb libs and they shall be used.)
If you have ever installed 'mesa' PET package or previous version of nVidia driver PET (or some other), it may make trouble. Its recovery is a bit complex:
- Switch the X driver to 'vesa'.
- Unload the nvidia driver SFS.
- Re-install the PET which causing the problem.
- Uninstall the PET to clean up.
- Re-load the nvidia driver SFS.
- Run the xorgwizard to switch to the nvidia.
But making new papsave from RAM mode can be easier.

Is there any chance you might make a driver for the 310 kernel in exprimo and/or slacko.
I have tried to follow various directions and failed miserably

Glad to have found this thread. My 10-yr-old Acer Travelmate notebook uses the basic NVidia Geforce 2 Go (not Geforce Go something which are higher end). Checking your supported cards list showed the correct driver to be NVidia 96.43.xx but it also said it's no longer maintained. So for my Wary 511, Puppy 431 and lighthouse 5.0.3, which of your NVidia sfs should I use? Pardon if I've asked a dense question,still a noob.
Also on the same notebook,I multi-boot other "older" puppies such as Classic Pup 214X-TOP9 and Legacy OS 2 based on kernel 2.6.18.1, can any of your NVidia sfs be used? Eagerly await your reply.
Another thing to point out,in case it matters,is that as my notebook screen is faulty, I'm connecting it to an external LCD panel, Samsung SyncMaster 931C,capable of much higher resolutions and refresh rates. Wonder if there would be any synchronization problem.
Edit: The answer is none unless it's compiled with Nvidia96.43.xx for specific kernels.
