耐心無止境 成功一瞬間

經(jīng)過網(wǎng)上fedora論壇的大蝦幫忙，我終于成功安裝了驅(qū)動(dòng)，留下個(gè)腳印吧。

1. download the 100.14.19 driver from the nvidia site.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d...100.14.19.html
2. logout. at the login screen, press ctrl+alt+f1 (or whatever) to go to text console and login.
3. stop gdm (or kdm, if you're using KDE).
Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

4. install the nvidia 100.14.19 driver (instructions on nvidia website).
5. reboot.
Code:

sudo reboot

6. ubuntu might display a warning about low resolution etc, continue. (if you are at this step, it means you haven't got the white screen).
7. adjust the resolution, if you wish.
8. go to system tools -> nvidia settings. if this menu option is not there, it means the driver was not installed properly. go back.
9. if you get a message saying the driver "nvidia" is not enabled, enable it by going to system -> administration -> restricted device manager. enable the driver.
10. may need to reboot at this time.
11. make sure you don't have get white screen. log in. you may see the low resolution dialog again. adjust if you wish.
12. open nvidia settings. at this point, nvidia-settings should be properly displaying all the options.
13. under GPU0, select DFP-0 (in my case, DFP0 - Seiko). you should see a button "Acquire EDID". click it, you will be prompted to save a file. save it somewhere(for eg ~/edid.bin) and copy it to /etc/X11 (for convenience). THIS IS THE KEY STEP. GET THE EDID.
Code:

sudo cp ~/edid.bin /etc/X11/edid.bin

14. remember to thank destny.
15. logout. go to text console (ctrl+alt+f1). login (text console).
16. run envy in text mode.
Code:

sudo envy -t

17. in envy, clean any earlier nvidia driver installation (100.14.19).
18. in envy, install the new nvidia driver. let envy configure xorg.conf, but do not reboot.
19. open the xorg.conf file
Code:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

look for section "Device". Add the following line:
Code:

Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"

thank destny for this.
20. under section "Screen", subsection "Display", make sure your default mode is listed. it wasn't in my case. i added "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" to the Modes line.
21. save and close xorg.conf, reboot.
22. at the gui login screen, you may notice that the resolution is still not proper. if so, login and adjust the resolution. also make sure you can see all the options in nvidia-settings.
23. you're set. i rebooted once again just to make sure things were smooth.
24. thank destny.
25. get back to work.

可以不用envy安裝驅(qū)動(dòng)，可以手動(dòng)安裝或者用yum安裝，然后添加那個(gè)EDID的選項(xiàng)就可以了。

終于可以使用新的驅(qū)動(dòng)了，太高興了。
