downloaded or compiled at installation) required you to have a linker
installed on your system. The linker, usually /usr/bin/ld, is part of the
binutils package. if a precompiled kernel interface is not found, you
must install a linker prior to installing the nVidiA driver.

nvidia-xconfig will find the X configuration file and modify it to use the
nVidiA X driver. in most cases, you can answer Yes when the installer
asks if it should run it. if you need to reconfigure your X server later,
you can run nvidia-xconfig again from a terminal. nvidia-xconfig will
make a backup copy of your configuration file before modifying it.
