Nvidia drivers
304.131 for k4.6
Here is the patch needed to get nvidia-304.131 to compile on kernel 4.6
Remove false .gz
This is in addition to the kernel 4.3 patch above.
You can download the patched .run if anybody wants it.

Nvidia driver for Slacko6.0
Hi peebee,
I can't find the nvidia 304xx driver for
http://lx-pup.weebly.com/slacko60.html
Please let me know if this is available.
btw. unlike any other distros, here the leds Num, Caps and Scroll lock on my keyboard don't light, although the keys work properly. Can this be changed?

Can't answer the keyboard lights query I'm afraid - suggest you post somewhere else on the forum with more details of your computer hardware....

If its not in the "updates" section, there's this http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 726#571726 alternative.mikegarcia wrote:Hello. Iam new in the linux world, and i need help while installing nvidia drivers.

Thanks for the help
nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx and 3.14.20 kernel
I have an old computer (2004 or older) with Geforce256.
I run Tahr6.0.2 happily, but with vesa.
With Wary I can install the proper Invidia driver, legacy-71xx, but with Tahr I cannot because of the newer kernel.
In the package for legacy-71xx in debian wheezy there are patches for this. I haven't tried them: it would be a 'tour de force' for me.
There is also a warning there that "this driver only works with xserver 1.4" and Tahr has xorg 1.15!
Is it worth trying the patches from debian? Could it still work?
If so, did anyone by chance try this before?

Making graphics drivers does not like me.
Anyone make any Nvidia drivers for Xenialpup 7.0.1?
I need the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.39 driver.
I downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.39.run package from Nvidia web site.
I have loaded the devx and kernel sfs, but I keep getting errors when making the driver.

Thanks for looking into this!
This Nvidia driver is getting very old and it was the last one to support my hardware. No newer Nvidia driver will work.
Xenialpup 7.0.1 still works using the Nouveau driver with my hardware.
My computer specs are at the bottom of the list of supported hardware for Xenialpup 7.0.1.
I was just hoping I could still get an actual Nvidia driver to still work and give full feature support to my graphics hardware.
Tahrpup still lets me use a Nvidia driver, so Puppy is never dead on this computer.

Bonjour,
I have being trying to download pet or sfs files directly from http://shinobar.server-on.net/puppy/opt/ or using some links of Forum threads pointing to. Files (even big ones!) are very quickly downloaded but absolutely unusable/not installable. I just get empty files
What's wrong?
[SOLVED]: See this post. Thanks shinobar.
Cordialement.

ppm nvidia driver
I really don't get the problem with nvidia drivers.
I am using tarhpup 6.05 64 bit.
I had used linux mint 18 addition drivers program, and it showed me 2 nvidia drivers for my pc.
I used the puppy package manager to find these drivers on ubuntu.
Tried them and found one, that works real good on my pc.
So what is the big deal about using nvidia drivers.

Bonjour,
Now, I would like to compile nvidia drivers while running xenialpup (xenial-7.0.3.iso).
I tried but it fails though the getnvidia GUI says all is OK!
Loaded sfs files:
For example, you need full feature support to your graphics hardware if you want to make "Blender" run/work. Using the simple "nouveau" driver coming with some Puppies, it will not work at all...Lassar wrote:So what is the big deal about using nvidia drivers.

legacy71xx and tahr
Hi, anyone who succeeded in compiling legacy71xx driver (old old old!) on tahr6.0.2 (kernel 3.14.20). It certainly needs patches.
AND have it running (possibly will not run on newer Xorg?)?

even later - I've managed to apply the mtrr patches to the 304.132.run but getnvidia then throws a wobbly and won't build the sfs - however installing the .run directly does create and install a working driver....
