QUOTE(tesla_rage @ Mar 19 2008, 09:15 PM) owh its the source file... no it doesnt..thats y very does it have a readme in there? that would help a lot... usually its.. CODE sudo ./configure sudo make sudo checkinstall if u dun have checkinstall please install and use it... CODE sudo apt-get install checkinstall checkinstall will install the driver as a DEB package, so later on, you can easily remove it by... CODE sudo apt-get remove package_name i think when u want to compile it, you are going to need to download a lot of libraries...

QUOTE(mystical zero @ Jul 6 2008, 08:33 PM) You're better off installing the nvidia driver first as avant window navigator requires desktop composition. If you have any problems installing the nvidia driver, refer here. woooI'm not sure what you did to install avant window navigator. But, here is what you should type in terminal instead: CODE sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator it fail me big time  It cant detect my gc driver at all. the resolution gone bad. now uninstall it. back to square one Added on July 7, 2008, 2:34 ambwahahaha. got it now. I didnt read properly really thanx. I installed it before updating though. now updating to newest Added on July 7, 2008, 1:01 pmanother problem the driver install properly but when I want to enable appearance>visual effect, it says cant enable. I dont know y. but I got the resolution correct as nvidia installed. This post has been edited by kazasho: Jul 7 2008, 01:01 PM |
