DRIVER INSTALLATION
Linking of the kernel interface (in the case that the interface
downloaded or compiled at installation) required you to have a linker
installed on your system. The linker, usually /usr/bin/ld, is part of the
binutils package. If a precompiled kernel interface is not found, you
must install a linker prior to installing the NVIDIA driver.
8 Run nvidia-xconfig utility.
nvidia-xconfig will find the X configuration file and modify it to use the
NVIDIA X driver. In most cases, you can answer Yes when the installer
asks if it should run it. If you need to reconfigure your X server later,
you can run nvidia-xconfig again from a terminal. nvidia-xconfig will
make a backup copy of your configuration file before modifying it.
9 Installation is complete.
Note: The X server must be restarted for any changes to its
configuration file to take effect.
More information about nvidia-xconfig can be found in the
nvidia-xconfig manual page by running:
% man nvidia-xconfig
