Antacid, Please
I'm trying to get my TVPC up and running and I'm hitting a wall every time I try to install the Nvidia drivers. Normally these drivers work like a charm (yes, even on my Slackware machines).
This time they're killing. I have a GeForce 7300 GT video card. In addition, I have a pcHDTV tuner card. My concern is that there is a conflict in the driver between these two devices, but I can't find anything in the log files that suggests this might be the case.
Anyhow, here is my attempt to fix the problem. It's below the fold hidden from you non-geeky types who might find their way here.
The GLX libraries don't seem to be loading, but I don't think that is the problem. I started the X server and my machine apparently froze. I was able to log in using ssh which ran incredibly slowly. I think the Nvidia drivers are consuming most of my system resources when I start my X server.
