The NVIDIA instructions for installing the driver seem pretty easy and clear to me, frankly speaking.

Quote:
Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42-pkg1.run

One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig

Yaaahoooo problem solved. i downloaded the driver from the website, then install GCC and Kernal-devel as these are pre-requisites of driver setup. then install driver using rpm.

1)- but still now when i boot system. it starts in text mode, i have to give command startx to go to gui. is there a way that on rebooting it directly goes to gui interface.

2)- when desktop comes there are no buttons of shutdown/restart in the menu. can any one guide me from where to bring them

You can start a new thread in the desktop forum to ask questions about setting up your desktop environment.
