Introduction to NVIDIA
Dependencies
Required
- Linux Kernel Source (Note: This package requires the kernel sources. If you have removed the kernel sources then I suggest that you build it again. No need for installtion though.)
- X Window System
Extra Options
If for whatever reason you're building inside of a chroot or not running the kernel you plan to use with the nVidia driver, also pass the following:
--kernel-source-path=[path to kernel source]
The default path is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build.
You can also pass the following to disable building the kernel module:
--no-kernel-module
Non-Multilib

x86
First we need to make the downloaded file executable:
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run
Install the driver with the following command (see above for more options):
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run \ --x-prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix xorg-server) \ --no-precompiled-interface
x86_64

Multilib
First we need to make the downloaded file executable:
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run
Install the driver with the following command (see above for more options):
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \ ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run \ --x-prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix xorg-server) \ --no-precompiled-interface

Configuring
To generate a new xorg.conf run the following:
nvidia-xconfig --output-xconfig=xorg.conf.new
Test the X server configuration with:
X -config xorg.conf.new
You should see nVidia's logo and then the normal server screen.
If it works properly move it to it's proper location:
mv -v xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
