I subscribed to the NVIDIA Linux forum. If somebody is interested to do the same, I needed to clear private data, such as cookies before I was able to do it. The message to confirm the registration was moved to Thunderbird's Trash folder, the folder I'm using for spam, instead of the Junk folder.
Btw. the GeForce 7300SE seems to be the "same" card as my GeForce 7200GS. Hopefully there will be some information at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=149703 Cheers!

There are issues when using the xorg FLOSS driver for Suse and for 64 Studio. There are issues when using the proprietary NVIDIA driver for Suse. I like to start with one issue. NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2.run isn't able to build a driver for 64 Studio 3.0-beta3, based on Ubuntu Hardy. The proprietary NVIDIA installer can't build the driver for a self build kernel-rt, because it doesn't know the kernel source path, btw. it seems to be that the needed kernel source is provided by the package linux-headers and not by the package linux-source, at least because of version.h. For the self-build kernel-rt on Suse there isn't such an issue, the installer was able to build the proprietary driver. I can't say if the driver is completely ok, at least a session started. I zero in on getting it working for 64 Studio, so at the moment I won't make tests running Suse. 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 64-bit $ sudo -i # cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r) # ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) build # ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) source # /etc/init.d/gdm stop $ sudo -i # cd /usr/src # export SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) # echo $SYSSRC # sh ./NVIDIA-Linux* -q --kernel-source=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) # sh ./NVIDIA-Linux* -q Both times the NVIDIA installer was missing something. Suse 11.2/11.3 64-bit > su # init3 # cd /usr/src # sh ./NVIDIA-Linux* -q For Suse there was no problem for the proprietary installer. The kernel for 64 Studio is $ uname -r 2.6.31.12-rt20. Any ideas?
