Everyone now will think i am the most not too smart using linux. i never seen linux before if not for request of friend.

now my question, i wanted to run my video card with nvidia driver. but i dont want to destroy the linux redhat7 and the warning in nvidia forums are pointing to that. in the drivers download there is one step at a time to take. but i cannot get step three into action. i downloaded the textfile "NVchooser.sh" but it is complex. I double click it but it will not run as a exe or bat. Anyone help on how to use? I dont want to destroy linux and not get back to desktop like the warnings so i want to follow all steps.

I have a linuxt 7, redhat 7.1se
I have a geforce 2mx 400
I have a duron pc of amd
i have a hard disk of 20gigabytes
one cdrw and a floppy disk and a 3 button mouse.
I updated xfree and the similar files and glibc and the common version also.
I updated xcdroast

here is where i am looking.

Thank you for you help soon.

Sorry fro the poor english i am not native in the language.

Open up a terminal in the directory where you put NVchooser.sh by pressing CTRL+T, and do the following:

chmod 777 NVchooser.sh (this gives everyone permission to use/change the file)

su (then enter the root password)

./NVchooser.sh (this executes the file)

./NVchooser.sh

works fine for me.
