Defiance's 12 Step Program To TNT2 Bliss

1) In Windows, download the driver from:
    driver download. Boot into Linux.

2) Mount the cdrom: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

3) Change to the RPM directory on the cd:
    cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS

4) Attempt to install the XF86 server... hopefully it is already installed:
    rpm -i XFree86-3.3.3.1-49.i386.rpm (your exact file may vary)
    rpm -i XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-49.i386.rpm

5) Make a directory to mount your windows file system:
    mkdir /windows (not necessarily in /)

6) Mount windows:
    mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /windows (substitute whatever partition you     downloaded the driver to for hda1)

7) Move the downloaded file onto your linux partition:
    mv [filename] /some_dir/[filename]

8) Uncompress the file:
     tar xzf [filename]

9) Change to the created directory.

10) Run riva_install (must be done as root):
      ./riva_install

11) Run xconf:
      xconf

12) Press enter at the individual card selection, select the XF86_SVGA       server, 'Y' when asked to create a symbolic link, enter at video card       selection.

That's it-- you should be good to go.
