Description of problem:
maceia 2 beta 2 x86_64
asus silent en210 graphical card

launch display server manager
then
click on the button "graphical adapter"
then
sofware selects itself the driver "nvidia geforce 6100 .."

nothing happens
the manager does not offers to install the driver

addendum :

i checked that there is a dkms nvidia 295.20 driver wich is compatible with my

can you open XFdrake, drakconf in a console to see if there is any messages ?

Comment 2 episteme promeneur 2012-03-22 17:22:44 CET

just after clicking "ok" i have this

[root@localhost ~]# drakx11
The program 'drakx11' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow'.
  (Details: serial 26379 error_code 3 request_code 153 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
[root@localhost ~]#

then it is a duplicate you have to revert to an old version of gtk oxygen (see the duplicate)
