I'd like to use the 9746 stable drivers for x86 64 from nvidia's site. I chmod the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9746-pkg2.run file to be executable, but when I run it, it gives me: | Code: | # ./NVIDIA*.run
Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 1.0-9746.......................................................................................................................................
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9746-pkg2.run: line 759: ./nvidia-installer: Permission denied |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need the nvidia 1.0-9xxx drivers to run beryl using nvidia? That's really the only reason why I'm trying to get it to work. So help would be greatly appreciated. |

Do not install the drivers that way.
use emerge
| Code: | | echo x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers >> /etc/portage/package.keywords && emerge nvidia-drivers |
will install the latest 1.0.9746 drivers
