Installing the Nvidia 8800 GTX on Fedora Linux
November 28th, 2006 by Garret : 1,870 views
I recently bought an Nvidia 8800 GTX card, but had just a bit of trouble getting it to compile, install, and run under Linux.
I’ve written this tutorial to make it a piece of cake for whoever else may try.
Here are the steps:
1. Download the driver that supports your card.
2. Update your kernel
3. Install the kernel-devel package corresponding to your kernel
4. Install the pkgconfig and xorg-x11-server-sdk packages
5. Prepare your system for trouble
6. Install the driver
7. Setup your X server configuration.
8. Troubleshooting
Note for almost all of these instructions, you will need to be logged in as root. Whenever I tell you to run a command, I mean to open a terminal window, type it in, and press enter.
