See the README for more detailed instructions. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible. Old Nvidia cards are a problem on Linux so even more for a card from around 2004. So youre only option is to use the Nouveau drivers. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. I looked the driver on for a '6150SE nForce 430' in list of Operating systems Linux isnt even mentioned so it seems they didnt even have a Linux driver for those cards back then.

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package.Īlso note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver.

Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format.
