Cannot install Nvidia 96 driver due to conflicts

Hi.

When I tried to follow the wiki regarding the installation of Nvidia 96, I got these results:

[root@sgo-desktop sgo]# pacman -Sy nvidia-96xx
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra                    422.9K  128.2K/s 00:00:03 [#####################] 100%

:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.5
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.5
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.5
:: trident-dri: requires libgl=7.5
:: unichrome-dri: requires libgl=7.5

the fonts of my screen are too large. It should be 1024x768 but I cannot find this settings on the "screen resize and rotate".

hoping that someone could help out.

Re: Cannot install Nvidia 96 driver due to conflicts

How can I do this?

I tried it but it seems I do not have the permission to save the changes
Configuring X-Server

Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config or your /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file: Disable in modules section: GLcore and DRI

Add to modules section:

Load "glx"

Make sure you DON'T have a line

Load           "type1"

in the Module section since recent versions of xorg-server does not include the type1 font module (completely replaced by freetype).

Disable Section DRI completely:

#Section "DRI"
# Mode 0666
#EndSection

Change

Driver "nv"

or

Driver "vesa"

to

Driver "nvidia"

If it exists, disable the Chipset option (only needed for nv driver):

#Chipset "generic"

Welcome to the forum, manilaph!

What terminal do you use ? Maybe you can set the terminal font in ~/.Xdefaults. Did you try another mirror to install nvidia ?

Re: Cannot install Nvidia 96 driver due to conflicts

pacman -Rd libgl && pacman -S nvidia-96xx nvidia-96xx-utils

See pacman(1) to for details about what that does.

Either you have a lot of video cards on your system or you need to do some cleaning up.
