Hello,

I am trying to install Nvidia drivers from their website for the Geoforce chipset. I did it once, and it requires 2.6.11 kernel. Once I found the kernel and never wrote it down. Does anybody know where to find the 2.6.11 or greater kernel?

Regards,

Randy.

If you are using SuSE, why don't you use the YaST tool to install the Nvidia driver and any kernel it provides?

Agreed. YaST has the drivers available. All you need do is open up YaST.

<Use Yast>

I did this, but it still only loads the Vesa frame buffer driver on this new PCI Express board.

I finally applied all the updates using Yast, and downloaded the new Nvidia driver from their website. I then ran the driver "sh nvidiadriver.run -q" from an init 3 level. The kernel rebuilt, and using the command "sax2 -m 0=nvidia" it finally installed.

I don't know why the driver provided with Yast won't work on this board. It installs automatically on an older machine I have.

Thank you for the help.

Regards,

Randy.

Don't use Yast to install the nvidia driver from SuSE. It's for the newest cards. I would suggest for the older legacy cards to use the NVIDIA 7174 series.

Cheers!!
