> The installation of the NVIDIA drivers under Linux can be quite easy
|
|
in itself. However, there is a little more to it sometimes than
|
|
just unpacking the driver files.

</P

><P
|
|
> Since certain versions of the NVIDIA drivers require upgrading your
|
|
XFree86 to work, I've included some material on installing XFree86.
|
|
If upgrading XFree86 is necessary for you, you can read this document
|
|
but also carefully read the information at

|
> The NVIDIA driver is only concerned with installing the OpenGL libGL
|
|
library. But since there is more to a complete OpenGL installation than
|
|
just libGL, I cover the installation of defacto standard OpenGL add-on
|
|
libraries like GL Utility (libGLU) and GL Utility Toolkit (libglut).
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> Going a little beyond the basics, I cover the installation of some
|
|
other libraries you might want to consider:
