HOW-TO NVidia 1.0-7667 at GoboLinux012

# Download NVidia package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run

# Run:
Compile --no-install Linux 2.6.11.9
# to have it matching to the GoboLinux012 shipped kernel :)

# Exit X (logoff, alt+n) and run this to install nvidia.ko:
# login as gobo (root)
strPkgVersion="Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1"
strPkgVersionPath="/Programs/Nvidia/$strPkgVersion"
strKernelSource="/System/Kernel/Modules/`uname -r`/build"

# say OK to all 'error?' messages and said OK to continue on all checks that 'failed'...

SymlinkProgram Nvidia "$strPkgVersion"
# If you opted to install opengl headers you may have these conflicts:
#  SymlinkProgram: Conflict: /Programs/Xorg/6.8.2/include/GL/gl.h
#  SymlinkProgram: Conflict: /Programs/Xorg/6.8.2/include/GL/glext.h
#  SymlinkProgram: Conflict: /Programs/Xorg/6.8.2/include/GL/glx.h
#  SymlinkProgram: Conflict: /Programs/Xorg/6.8.2/include/GL/glxext.h
# In this case, you may want to run this instead:
SymlinkProgram -c overwrite Nvidia "$strPkgVersion"

# edited Xorg.conf and changed: Driver "nv"
# to:                           Driver "nvidia"

# adjusted modprobe.conf
echo -e "\nalias char-major-195 nvidia" >>/System/Settings/modprobe.conf
# or you can just type: modprobe nvidia

# login as normal user
startx

# PS.: as Linux kernel compilation takes too long ( on my machine 7h :( ),
# I created this small script you can use to follow the progress,
# or create your own based on 5560 .o files to this kernel.
# Just cd to '/Files/Compile/Sources/linux-2.6.11.9' and run like $HOME/bin/Progress.sh
# This script depends on my project ScriptEchoColor (I may add a code of progress like this to it later on).
# Tip, it looks good at Konsole, it looks like this but colored :)
#   49%[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO____________________________](2729/5560)
# Have fun :)


# Documentation provided with absolutely NO WARRANTIES, it worked for me and MAY work for you.
