I wanted to work on cuda in linux fedora 10 32bit. I have installed fedora 10 and i have installed cuda tool kit, cuda software development kit but I dont know how to install the graphics driver. I have downloaded graphics driver version 190 which has cuda support.
Here is what happened
My user name in fedora 10 is Max. i opened terminal and typed follwing commands
[Max@Max-Gear ~]$ su
Password:
[root@Max-Gear Max]# su -
[root@Max-Gear ~]# ls
anaconda-ks.cfg install.log install.log.syslog
[root@Max-Gear ~]# sh /home/Max/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run
Verifying archive integrity… OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 190.53…

Then it opened next page and showed an error. it said
ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before
installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING
THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver
download page at www.nvidia.com.

there is no readme file with driver. I tried to login in using userid root and i have set admin password as 231458 during installation but fedora is telling user cannot be authenticated. What am i supposed to do. How to install the driver???
