Turbolinux 10 F... kernel-2.6.0-7
-Install by booting from built-in CD (DVD)-ROM
drive.
-Select "vesa"to avoid the system
hanging caused by X Window that tries
to start it with an auto-selected nv driver.
-When the installation completes, add "acpi=on"to
/boot/grub/grub.conf
as a kernel start option.

| Installation Notice |
|
| -If the VGA chip"nVIDIA
GeForce FX Go5200"(installed in this model) is
used, the system hangs upon the start-up. (This VGA
chip cannot be used together with "nv"driver
for nVIDIA of the current XFree86 version. Need to specify
VESA driver. |
-The VESA driver is unsettable
using the LC display size "1280x800"of
this model; the resolution will be auto-set to "1024x768"and
also the aspect ratio will be changed.
|
| Workaround |
|
| 1. Instead of using the usual
method, "install/install_acpi", boot from
"Install CD1"and select "VESA"when
the "Install"menu appears. |
| 2. From this step onward, follow
the usual installation procedures.
Note: The settable maximum resolution is "1024x76"
; see "Installation Notice" above.
Also, using the XFree86-specific driver provided by
nVIDIA enables the optimization and "1280x800"display
settings; "guarantee of proper operation"
will not be offered by Turbo in this case, though.
Perform the following steps:
|
1. Download the driver archive
from nVidia website:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-5336/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
Also, read "README"file:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-5336/README
When changing the build number, the path may be concurrently
changed as well; follow the menus called from the website
(http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp):
"Graphics Driver" --> "GeForce &
TNT2"-->" Linux IA32"-->"Go! |
2. For "GUI Logged-in"settings,
change the level to "init level 3" :
# init 3
Note: This driver is unbuildable with X-server running. |
3. Relogin console as root:
Login: root
Password: *******
# |
4. If the following packages
necessary for the build are not installed, put them
right away:
<rpm -ivh xxxx.rpm>
kernel-source-2.6.0-7
kernel-headers-2.6.0-7
cpp-3.3.1-5
gcc-3.3.1-5
gcc-c++-3.3.1-5
libgcc-3.3.1-5
glibc-devel-2.3.2-10
glib-devel-1.2.10-11
glib2-devel-2.2.3-3 |
5. Make sure that
"usr/src/linux/.config"file exists; if not,
make a copy of /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig:
When a menu appears, select "Exit-->Yes"
and exit it.
Such file/directory not found.
# cd /usr/src/linux
# ls -al .config
ls: .config:Even when a menu appears, no operation is
necessary:
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig ./.config
# make menuconfig
(select "Exit-->Yes", save the setting
and exit it.)
# |
6. Follow the steps below to
build a driver:
a) Run the downloaded file using shell:
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
b) When the license confirmation window appears, select
"Accept"and press "Enter" .
c) When asked, "To obtain compiled I/F (corresponding
to kernel) from FTP site?", just answer "No"
.
Note: Actually, there exists no I/F that corresponds
to the kernel in the FTP site.
d) Select "OK"in reply to the query "To
newly compile kernel IF"in a confirmation window.
e) Select "OK"in reply to the query in a confirmation
window after the compilation and installation. |
7. Modify the "/etc/X11/XF86Config"file.
Also, read "/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README"
:
a) Backup the original XF86COnfig file just in case:
# cd /usr/X11
# cp -p XF86Config XF86Config-org
b) If "GLcore"and "dri"have already
been loaded within Section"Module", comment-out
them. And if no "Glx"driver entry exists,
add this:
Section "Module"
.
#Load "GLcore"
#Load "dri"
Load "glx"
EndSection
c) Change the "Driver"in Section "Device"from
"vesa" to "nvidia":
Section "Device"
.
#Driver "vesa"
Driver "nvidia"
.
EndSection
d) Add a modename (identifier) for use of Section
"Monitor"by "1280x800". And also,
newly describe Section "Modes"and add it:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 31.5-56.5
VertRefresh 50-70
#VendorName "Unknown Vender"
#ModelName "Unprobed Monitor"
UseModes "BigModes"
EndSection
Section "Modes"
Identifier "BigModes"
Modeline "1280x800" 67.26 1280 1312 1560
1592 800 817 824 841
EndSection
e) Change all of modes described in the SubSecion
"Display"of Section
"Screen" from "1024x768"to "1280x800"
:
Section "Screen"
.
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x800"
EndSubSection
.
.
EndSection
f) Start X-server with the XF86Config and make sure
that it can be
started correctly with the right size:
# startx
g) After checking the actions, start the system with
"init 5" or restart
it, and check whether no problem exists with "GUI
log-in" .
