Hi,
I happen to use
[I] media-video/nvidia-settings (1.0.20070621@08.12.2007): NVIDIA Linux X11 Settings Utility
[U] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers (71.86.01@08.12.2007
As I can't use a newer version of the nvidia-drivers, nvidia-settings does conflict with the installed nvidia-driver.
Quote: | ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension version 1.6 is too old; the minimimum required version is 1.11
|
Under the following URL http://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/nvidia-settings/ I can only download
newer versions of nvidia-settings.
Has anyone the nvidia-settings tar file for nvidia-settings-71.86.01 ?
Thanks. |

You could try version 7185 from that list. Close enough.
And won't nvidia-settings-169.04 work for you? _________________ It doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. |

Extract the driver package: Code: | sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.01-pkg0.run --extract-only | There is a nvidia-settings binary in there which you can use. Just copy it to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. |
