Nvidia driver

Since KateOS 3.8 you can install a package with drivers and tools for all Nvidia cards:

updateos -i nvidia-driver

After installation you have to manually configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf or use nvidia-xconfig.

However if you prefer former installation way, read further:

You can download nvidia driver from here http://www.nvidia.com/ .

$ su
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.`date +%F`
# updateos -i kernel-sources gcc binutils make glibc

remember where you saved driver.

CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill X. CTRL+Alt+F6 Login as root.

# init 3
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run

Question and answer:

No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you like the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel from the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: No)

Would you like to run the nvidia-xconfig utility to automatically update your X configuration file so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used when you res tart X? Any pre-existing X configuration file will be backed up. (Answer: Yes)
