Installing Nvidia drivers for remastered cd

**gonzalu** · 03-22-2004, 02:36 AM

Okay I did have a mistake on the posted code above (dunno where it came from...) but here again is the one on the source directory that i used to build the cd... I will check the actual cd in a second..

Code:

#!/bin/bash

PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"; export PATH
umask 022

# [ "`id -u`" != "0" ] && echo "WARNING: $0 has to run as root to work properly." 1>&2

# ANSI COLORS
CRE="2fb) modprobe "$XMODULE" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; XMODULE="fbdev"; ;;
esac
fi

NODDC=""
checkbootparam noddc &&  NODDC="true"

MONITOR=""
COMPLETE=""
RC=""

if [ -z "$NODDC" ]; then
# Try to get Monitor data via ddcxinfo-knoppix
MONITOR="$(ddcxinfo-knoppix -monitor)"
RC="$?"
COMPLETE="$(awk '/EndSection/{print}' <<EOF
$MONITOR
EOF)"
fi

if [ "$RC" != "0" -o -z "$MONITOR" -o -z "$COMPLETE" ]; then

Well... looking at this one, I see you've patched it. However, you have to put XMODULE, not MODULE. That should solve the issue

Agggrrr

Darn... I copied your code instead of looking at it first hehehe... I should have picked up on that, I amy be a dummy but man, that looked obvious

Let me give it another shot... I'd like to disable DDC as well when that happens and perhaps try 1920x1200 first... can I just hack that same line of yours to set the NODDC cheat here as well? And maybe also try 1920x1200? I have no clue how to do it, I was simply gonna do:

Code:

if [ "$XMODULE" = "nv" ]; then
XMODULE="nvidia"
NODDC="true"
SCREEN="1920x1200"
fi

However, I think the NODDC and SCREEN size options should be higher up on the script... I think by this point the decision has been made wether or not DDC is to be taken into consideration or not (and in my case, I need it to be not taken into consideration)

I will play with the file a bit more and see if I can find how to more elegantly decide if the screen should be detected one way or another to make the CD as flexible as possible. I know I can just hard code this stuff in but I want to make it flexible enough ...

What do you think? Thanks for your help on this. I have gotten much further than I ever have before.

Well, to diable DCC look for the line that says:

NODCC=""
checkbootparm nodcc && NODCC="true"

add this line below to put ir to TRUE no matter what it detects:

NODCC="true"

I'll suggest to learn a little about bash scripting and keep playing with the init scripts (as long as you don't break anything), it seems that you'll end knowing your way around
