thank you for the nvidia drivers working only in mageia so that in addition to the picture on two monitors also have the sound on both monitors

Unfortunately - with kernel 2.6.38.4-desktop-1.mga sound disappeared - not going to save all the settings for your graphics card!

any idea?

Most likely you need to install kernel-source through Mageia Control Centre -> Software Management -> Install and Remove Software.
Be aware that "View" and "Filter"-boxes have the option "All" selected.

Most likely you need to install kernel-source

kernel-source is only used for re-compiling the kernel. To build kernel modules use the kernel-*-devel package corresponding to the running kernel.

gcc
make
kernel-source

I installed first.

no worries I've done it myself >>hardware>> configuration

kernel-*-devel package

thanks, I will remember this

Just curious, why are you installing the nvidia proprietary driver using the upstream .run? the same exact driver is already packaged in the Mageia Nonfree repo...

[werni]

because I can

[ahmad]

Here're a couple of cons with the upstream .run:
- It replaces some files from some system packages with its own copies, notable some mesa files
- When the kernel is updated you have to manually build the kernel module, whereas this is not a problem with the packages from the repos, DKMS builds the module for a new kernel when you boot it for the first time (assuming you have the matching kernel-devel package installed)

Anyway, your box, your call.
