SUSE 10.3 NVIDIA problem
 

Hi,

I'm a little stuck, it would seam that i missed something when i installed the Nvidia driver support for SUSE 10.3. I am trying to get SUSE10.3 to recognize my 9600GT, at the moment its using a generic driver and the 3D acceleration is turned off!

In order to do this i updated SUSE 10.3 online, all went well, I then went to the Nvidia website and followed the instructions to add them as a resource in yast and installed the x11 rpm. I clicked on the link in the webpage and yet again everything went fine, it download and installed those packages without a problem.

But i still dont have the ability to change the graphics card or enable 3d acceleration, and to be honest I'm not to sure where i can do this other than sax2. Any advice??

Thanks

You can try yast2>hardware > monitor and graphic card
But mostly if the install is oke the 3 D is on by default


all the best

Then i have a problem, before i get to the settings it tells me that the £D acceleration is off and it still only has the generic driver. I need to change this so i'm going to try going through the entire process again. See if i missed anything.

Thanks though.

I got an error this time...

Fatal error inserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.22.17-0.1-default/updates/nvidia.ko)
Failed to load the nvidia Kernel module.

Check also Suse website because it was also mentioned on this forum that some links about the Nvidia driver where not correct
it might be the same problem with you,re driver

all the best

maybe reinstall/update the nvivdia package throw http://packages.opensuse-community.org/

I've managed to get all of the utilities working and fixed the error, but still i can see all the setting and temperatures it just doesn't recognise the card!!! I'l give it a go.


Thanks
