INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Notes:
    -You need to install Kernel development (Kernel Source code) and C/C++
     Compiler before installing the Video driver.
     (See how to install Kernel Source and C/C++ Compilers)

     -Preloaded systems come with RPM installed nvidia driver; this should be
      uninstalled first before installing <nvidia>.run driver.
     (See how to uninstall nvidia RPM driver)


  1. Start SUSE Linux.
  2. In a terminal window, use the 'su' (switch user) command to obtain root privileges.
  3. Copy l7kv07us.run file to the hard drive, for example, /home/drivers directory.
  4. Type 'init 3' to run in console without the X server.
  5. Change directory to the location where you saved the file.
  6. Type 'sh l7kv07us.run' to install the driver.
  7. Type 'nvidia-xconfig'
  8. Type 'init 6' to reboot


HOW TO SILENT INSTALL THE DRIVER
   1. At runlevel 3 run 'sh ./l7kv07us.run -s -X'
        Note: -s = silent installation
              -X = configures xorg.conf to use nvidia driver



----------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. Start SUSE Linux
  2. In a terminal window, use the 'su' (switch user) command to obtain root privileges.
