I've put a Nvidia Quadro card in my machine. It was first

Quadro4 200/400 NVS. I have the pigtail for dual monitors.
I've tried
tweaking the xorg file to get it working, to no avail. So I then
downloaded the 9631 version driver from Nvidia. The readme for the
newer files said that they didn't support this card.
I run the installer, it builds the module, but
gets stopped
at
"-1
Invalid module format"
Now, what to do?
You have to get the the latest legacy drivers for nvidia.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-7184.html
They removed support for most of the 'older' video cards,
so you have
to get the archive driver release.
Same reaction, "-1 invalid module format". Has anyone
gotten dual monitor to work on this card with the included nv driver?
Also, livna.org shows rpms of these nvidia drivers for
FC5. What are the odds they would work on CentOS 4.4?
Are you using an old kernel or do you not have the latest version of gcc? I
think (I'm not absolutely sure) "invalid module format" means the version of
gcc used to compile your kernel is not the same version as the one you're
using to compile the nvidia driver.
This could be either because you're using an old kernel or old gcc. Try to
update both and recompile the driver.
I use an nvidia NVS 280 on my centos 4.4 and it works fine.

Well, no updates for either in yum. Kernel is 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp. gcc
is v 3.4.6....
