How to install the video card driver in Linux
Editor to share with you how to install Linux graphics card driver, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!
Linux installs the video card driver five parts:
* * step: download a for Linux version of the graphics card driver, I under the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run my kernel is 2.6.18-53.el5
Step 2: if you find the word xen in your kernel, say that you are on a virtual machine platform. The video card driver cannot be installed on the virtual machine platform, which is not necessarily impossible, but the video card driver does not support the virtual machine well. Anyway, I have never installed it once. To quit the virtual machine platform, you have to restart the computer and choose the kernel version without xen to enter. If not, there is nothing I can do. If you Googel, I will not choose the virtual machine when I reinstall the system.
The third step: as the second step above, press Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace to enter the character interface and log in with root. If it is still a graphical interface, enter the graphical interface and enter the command init 3 under shell to enter the character interface.
Step 4: after entering the directory of the graphics card driver in the character interface, use. / NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run to start the installation. Select Accept to allow the installation with a pop-up screen, and then select the second screen to choose whether or not to start the installation after it is not updated through the network. * choose to enable the configuration software included with the driver.
Step 5: enter the command init 5 to enter the graphical interface, and rboot the system if the graphical interface reports an error.
