Install driver Nvidia for geforce go 7300 [Solved]

[Lilium23]

Exact! None or compton?

[tony37]

I would start with 'none', maybe you can later try out compton

[Lilium23]

Done, Tony :-)
Do I have to take other steps?

[tony37]

Rebooting, and I hope it will work, because I haven't tested it on an actual nvidia device, but it has worked previously for someone using antix. But if you want to be on the safe side, then you can make sure you have a live USB ready (which is always a good idea to have lying around).

Yes I have done previously :-)
I reboot now

[Lilium23]

It did not work. After rebooting it never got to the login screen :-(
I restored from save snapshot
Thanks Tony for taking the time
@huckleberry, I await your news thanks

@Lilium23 In fact, what I meant was just install 18.3 . Don't consider it "old" , it's even a bit lighter, mature, still being supported.. I was still going on with 18.3 till a few months ago (and still keep my snapshots).

Ok, I know, you wouldn't like to remove 19.4 and install 18.3 . I'd do this: Just open a little place (8-10GB) and install it there, then try Nvidia driver there easily. At least to see if it makes a noticeable change. (As JayM told, sometimes it's not worth it on old cards... So, you'll have tried easily).

(Meanwhile , my current installation is about 5GB with everything needed, on a 8GB partition, like the previous ones.. I just keep the partition clean, that's all :) )

( If you agree, here are the latest ones )

Ok Huckberryfinn :-)
I can try on another disk where 19.4 is installed and overwrite with 18.3.
From 18.3 the nvidia driver must be installed by MX package installer and abort the installation as recommended here?
I need the driver to run kodi mediacenter better, I don't need it to play :-)
Thanks
EDIT: Excuse me: do I have to download 18.3 from here or from your link?

From 18.3 the nvidia driver must be installed by MX package installer ...

No, just simply (and particularly) "Nvidia Driver Installer" from Menu :)

do I have to download 18.3 from here or from your link?

Whichever you like. That one is the original release of 18.3 (as here), and the one I gave is the updated iso (snapshot) (in fact I chose that deliberately as it requires less updates)

Just: The default kernel is 4.19.

And 4.15 (also antiX 4.9 ) were proven to work with 304.xx . So, before installation you can do this:

MX Package Installer (4.15 must be in Popular Apps tab) , install that,

Reboot with it (via "Advanced Options" on Grub)

Finally "Nvidia Driver Installer" from Menu.

(Then you can make the 4.15 default from "MX Boot Options" with 1 click :) )

For the 304xx driver, you may need to do something extra on MX18, as I explain at viewtopic.php?p=616973#p616973
