I just now realized I might not have the proper driver installed for this video card. I know at one time, long ago, I got drivers from Nvidia website. I just looked there and noticed the files are .run extension. I can't remember how to run these files. So that is my first question, how do I run .run files?
Now. In PCC (this is PCLOS 2010.12 btw) the video card setup is listing as cards not working with. Not sure which one it is though as it cuts off there.
I also can't remember what I run to see what driver is installed in xorg.conf. I "think" I could jsut open that up with an editor though, correct? If not, what command do I run.
I really need to get the dual monitors working, which I just found out are not at this time. It is imperative that I get the 40" LCD working since I have a lot of movies we watch during "downtime"
Also, on the nvidia website, they have both 32bit and 64bit drivers. I know PCLOS is 32bit (ain't it?). My system is a dual processor 64bit (AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+). Which driver would I need if I ran them.
I got xorg.conf opened and found the following:
Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NVIDIA cards not working with nv"
Driver "nvidia"
Screen 0
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
Option "DPMS"
Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "device2"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 6100 and later"
Driver "nv"
Screen 0
BusID "PCI:0:13:0"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
The motherboard in the system has an onboard Nvidia also, which I can't turn off in BIOS for some reason. It looks like this is identified as Device2. Device1 seems to have twinview as false, but has the drivers installed.
