Manual installation of driver for Nvidia Geoforce 4 440 Go graphic card

[ingvald]

I want to do a manual install of the driver for my graphic card,Nvidia Geoforce 4 440 Go. This is due to the problem described in thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1018453).

I have searched and read many post about problems in linux with this driver...but for me as a newbie it is just too difficult to understand. I have found a proposed a driver in thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151982). I can try this, but I dont know how to install it. What do I have to do? Do I have to save it to a floppy/usb etc such that I can access it in my dell laptop? (remember, I only have limited display in the terminal window, GUI is not readable, xorg.conf file is empty....as described in my post linked above) and what do I have to write in terminal window to install the driver?

Anyone that knows how I can solve this problem?

Regards,
Ingvald

The second link is old and the driver has been updated since then. If you want the latest driver for your card go here http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html click on download drivers and follow it thru to get the driver for your card.

You will also find installation instructions where you download from.

I did allready checked nvidia website, but I can't find the driver for my card. The geoforce4 440 Go is not available in the drop down meny, only other series. Even when I choose Legacy drivers the Geoforce serie 4, 440 go is not available. Any suggestions?
