TITLE: NVIDIA Graphics Driver (AMD64/EM64T) for Linux Workstations

VERSION: 6628 Rev. A
DESCRIPTION:
This package contains the NVIDIA (AMD64/EM64T) accelerated graphics driver for 
Linux for the listed workstation models and operating systems.

PACKAGING NOTES:
This package:
- Is not kernel dependent.
- Takes advantage of the NVIDIA ".run" installer functionality.
- Can be used against several kernels within the supported distributions.
- Provides easy one-step configure/unconfigure scripts. 
- Installs an "init" script that automatically builds the driver during 
startup, as necessary, which provides support for users who change or update 
kernels.

advantage of other, more advanced, installation options that are available. 
- Provides sample configuration files for XFree.

HOW TO USE: 
1. You must be ROOT user with no X-server running (init 3).

2. Check for existing nvidia packages, at prompt type: 
   'rpm -qa | grep nv'

3. Remove any previous package, for example: 
   'rpm -e nvidia-6111-1.0.x86_64.rpm'

4. Install the new package: 
   'rpm -ivh nvidia-6628-1.1.x86_64.rpm'

NOTE: 
This will install the package file onto the system, but does not configure the 
new driver. 

5. Configure the new package by executing script: 
   '/opt/hp/graphics/nvidia/configure'

NOTE: 
This will place/build, and configure the nVIDIA accelerated graphics module. 
**It will also move aside any current XF86Config file and put a standard nVIDIA 
one in place.  

FOR MORE INFORMATION:
See the documentation provided in '/opt/hp/graphics/nvidia' for more 
information on this package, advanced istallation options, and more example
