<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>hello everybody.<br>
I'm having some issues trying to install nvidia proprietary driver on a Centos
5.4 32bit system (using kernel: 2.6.18-164.el5PAE), since with the latest
version downloaded from nvidia.com i wasn't able to obtain a working X server.
My system has a dual FX 570 configuration (it's a Dell Workstation). I was
wondering if i would have been able to get it working through the drivers in
the elrepo repository, but before giving it a try (and possibly messin' up my
linuxbox again), i would like to know if there's anyone using a configuration
similar to mine.<br>
Thank you everybody<br>
D.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
