NVIDIA Drivers for kernel 2.6.30.5 (puppy 4.3)
NVIDIA Drivers for kernel 2.6.30.5 (puppy 4.3)
I have compiled and packaged the Nvidia drivers for the new kernel of Puppy 4.3 (k2.6.30.5). The pet packages also contain OpenGL libraries (libglut and libGLU) and a test program glxgears, so you do not need to install the xorg_dri package for OpenGL support.
NVIDIA-190.53-k2.6.30.5.pet is for latest cards (Gf6 - Gf9, G200 -> )
NVIDIA-173.14.20-k2.6.30.5.pet is for newish cards (Gf5)
NVIDIA-96.43.13-k2.6.30.5.pet for older cards (Gf2 - Gf4 ?)
NVIDIA-71.86.11-k2.6.30.5.pet for prehistoric cards
Get them from http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/NOP

Gray - first of all sorry to hear you are too busy to coordinate
4.4 - ah well
Now then I tried the
NVIDIA-185.18.36-k2.6.30.5-1.pet
but had the same choppy sound results that occurred with
MU's recent compiling of this driver
The only driver that worked previously was this one
NVIDIA-177.82-k2.6.25.16.pet
but you have not compiled this for the new kernel
Is it possible you might?

Works perfectly with my Nvidia Geforce G 105M! Haven't tried a game though. My 1366x768 resolution works nicely.
Oh yea I was wondering, if I wanted to install an nvidia driver AND an ati driver, would that work? I have one laptop that has an Nvidia card and one that has ATI. Would I be able to install both and switch the drivers for each laptop @ boot? or would this not work @ all?

Thank you very much for sharing this!!
As i am very,very new to Linux i spent a hole day, trying to install the driver from nvidia.com and failed to create the "precompiled kernel" I was asked for.
Now I tried yours: NVIDIA-96.43.13-k2.6.30.5-1.pet for older cards (Gf2 - Gf4 ?) as i want to use the TV-Out of an old P3 Notebook with GF2 Go.
It seems to work somehow, but now i am stuck to save settings to xorg.conf.
If i replace the the xorg.conf with the new one and restart X, it falls back using the "nv" driver and renames my file to "xorg.conf."(ending with a dot).
Or is there a way to change this options at runtime, without restarting X?
I think i need to add these, as my TV-Out is grey-coloured:
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G"

Hi,
a few posts earlier I have mentionned Nvidia driver to work fine on the latest kernel ( - thanks to you, gray !)
gCAD3D application is meanwhile not running on pup4.30 k2.6.30.5 whatever the graphic card I tested it on (intel onboard 845G or nvidia Ge6).
see more details here
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 4&start=60
Latest nvidia drivers have OpenGL already in them, former k2.6.25.16 related not instead.
One other fact: xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.1.pet does not allow OpenGL working on pup4.30 k2.6.30.5
Thanks for any help!
Cheers
Charlie

choppy sound
@Lobster
Don't ask me why, but I first changed the hypertransport setting in the BIOS from 16-Bit to 8 Bit and it works fine for me.
I'm using an AMD AM2 motherboard. After replacing my monitor to a FullHD with DVI -Connection i've lost sound, under WinXp/ Ubuntu/ Puppy, with vga-connection it does the job.but had the same choppy sound results that occurred with

Hi, gray, thanks again. 185.18.36/GF6200/Puppy4.3.1= thumbs up!
When we install the driver it asks if we want to enable Compiz like effects or just normal effects. I answered 'normal' (maybe the terminology is different but you get it).
Now I want to install Google Earth and would like to know some things before (I feel its better to prevent than to fix):
-does Google Earth need the extra effects enabled (as opposed to only normal effects)?
-Is the Compiz like effects dri? So now that I have the driver already installed, to enable these extra effects would be just a matter of adding 'Load "dri"' to /etc/xorg.conf, right?
My current xorg.conf
Of course anyone is welcome to respond this.

Edit- while I don't know if 'Load "dri"' is the same as enable Compiz effects, I saw my Ubuntu xorg.conf and it has only glx enabled so I guess that's enough to work with Google Earth.

Re: NVIDIA Drivers for kernel 2.6.30.5 (puppy 4.3)
Worked without a hitch with my GeForce 8200 M on my brand new 4.3.1 frugal setup! Way easier than the same install on OpenSUSE, too! Thanks, gray, for you efforts. Gonna go try it on some of my earlier puppy versions, too (using the appropriate kernel version of course).gray wrote:I have compiled and packaged the Nvidia drivers for the new kernel of Puppy 4.3 (k2.6.30.5).

I CARE ... I just don't care about you!
Hi, I have nVidia 7200GS card, but it can't work with your driver.
I've tried all version of your driver, but X.org refuse to start.

[UPDATE] It works for nVidia 7200GS
[UPDATE]:
It works, I reinstall Puppy, install the .pet nVidia driver, and restart X-server. Thanks gray.
Here's my recipe:
Puppy 4.3.1, kernel 2.6.30.5
nVidia 7300SE/7200GS 256MB
NVIDIA-185.18.36-k2.6.30.5-1.pet
