[MPlayer-users] nVIDIA driver problems

[Ivan Gotti Junior]

Hi ppl!
I am using Red Hat 8 and I have installed the nvidia driver and the kernel module:
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.rh80up_2.4.18_18.8.0.i586.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm

When I try to initialize X with the "nvidia" driver instead of "nv" comes the
error:
