Solve : glx freeze? |
Answer» I recently installed fedora 6 on my computer without an internet connection. things SEEM to work fine, except this. I can't figure out how to install an rpm without an internet connection. when i DOUBLE click it, it comes up with some "retrieving system information error" that happens because i have no internet connection. when i try yum install [file] it comes up with some strange error. so anyway, back to the story. i picked up the .run file from the NVIDIA website to install drivers because I have no idea how to USE an RPM. i install. it works. and i try glxgears. it runs for a few seconds. then everything freezes up, there is no way out of the session (ctrl alt F1/2/3/4 don't work), and nothing happens. if i RESTART, the booting process gets to the nVidia splash screen and then freezes. my hardware: Fedora Core 6 Intel Celeron 2.89 ghz EM64T 512mb Ram Asus P5V800-MX Mobo 80gb SATA Harddrive NVidia NV17 Geforce 4400 MX EDIT: the text in bold has been solved, and i have installed the driver from the rpm anyway. the same glx problem occurs, no one has looked at this post, i wonder why? |
