Hello there,
yes, I've solved the problem just yesterday, I'll write what I did to get everything working so I can share it with you.
Problem Symptom:
WARNING: Due to your configuration limitations, Scilab switched in a mode where mixing uicontrols and graphics is not available. Type "help usecanvas" for more information.
Problem Formulation:
I didn't have a correct kernel module for my graphics driver which is "Nvidfia - GeForce MX4000".
Problem Solution:
There is two methods to install your Nvidia driver
First Method:
1- download the appropriate driver fom the page:
"http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html",
the driver is a (.run file) named,for me , "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.16-pkg1.run".
2- you have to update your kernel, using the command
note: step 2 takes few minutes
3- To begin installation, You have to close the X server, as root use the following command
so the GUI is closed and you'll enter he black shell screen
4- Start installation using
Code:
sh ~/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.16-pkg1.run
5- To check that the driver is properly installed, in the shell write the command
--> you should see a graphical view showing three moving gears.
Another check is to open the following file using kwrite
Code:
kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf
you'll find the following lines
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
if the driver is "nv" or "vesa" --> you did nothing !
second method:
1-Install priorities
Code:
yum install yum-priorities
2- Install ELrepo as a third party repository
Code:
rpm -Uvh **broken link removed** (external link)
rpm --import [url]https://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org[/url] (external link)
3- Start installation
Code:
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-drv
4- You are done!
