Yikes! How did you manage to put that graphics card into your Pentium 111? Isn't this a pci-e type card? I'm guessing you have some kind of adapter in place in order to connect this hardware.Well, here i am again, trying to get a dual screen working on my old compaq p3 with a nvidia 8400gs installed.
Code: Select all
nvidia-xconfig --twinview

On the Nvidia page at http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/52240# it saidERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before
installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING
THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver
download page at www.nvidia.com.
So, i exited X. Instructions for noobs like meInstallation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-310.19.run
One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig
Oooph, this is waaay beyond my ken, even with Nvidia's help details page http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L ... index.htmlUnable to find source tree for currently running kernel
Make sure they are installed & properly configured.
ie for Red Hat, ensure 'kernel-source' or ' kernel-deve1' RPM is installed
You may specify the path with --kernel-source--path' command line option
This may be very useful information for you. I think that once the nVidia installer can find everything it needs: linker, path to kernel source, etc. then the driver build and installation should go okay --knock on woodYou can specify the location of the kernel source tree (or headers) when you install the NVIDIA driver using the --kernel-source-path command line option (see sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-310.19.run --advanced-options for details).

enter nvidia-settings in the terminal.canbyte wrote: So where are the settings? Or how to bring up the nvidia control panel? Shouldn't there be a menu item to click on?
After running the nvidia-xconfig file in terminal, I get the following message.You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
Not sure what to do since the korg.conf file doesn't have the settings section auto written as usual. So yes, there's no Device section or anything else. Am I supposed to just paste in something like on the previous page (post 30)? I went back to Monsie's pets on the previous page but no luck there either.Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".

There's lots i don't understand such as why it mentions the onboard intel graphics which is supposed to be disabled in favour of the nvidia card and why this is quite different than my other machine per post 30 on the previous page. Anyway it works so I'm a happy camper.#everything past here is auto-generated by Puppy's Xorg Wizard...

I think you should pose this question in the Desktop section of the forum. As far as I know JWM configuration allows the tray to be placed only (aka taskbar, panel) at the top or bottom of the screen. It might be possible to adjust the values for X and Y in .jwmrc-tray so that the tray could be placed in a vertical position along the edge of the screen. There have been a few attempts at modifying tray management in JWM by various members. Have a look at this thread here because it looks like it might be what you are looking for. If not, there are links to other related projects at hand.It would be really nice for a dual screen setup to move the taskbar to the side instead of bottom since there's a lot of horizontal real estate to play with. Any takers?
