Hi Gain,
Thank you very much for responding.
I have followed the instructions but when I type the
command after installing the drivers "modprobe nvidia"
I get the following messages:
nvidia: Unknown parameter `'
FATAL: Errorinserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.741_FC3/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see
dmesg)
This messages are same as before.
Regards,
Biswadip.
