I dont know if u had any luck with this , but for the almost same laptop as yours ,
I have an HP Pavillion dv6171cl laptop, AMD Turion64, with a GeForce Go 6150, dual booting with Media Center and OpenSuSE 10.2.
I was able to load the nvidia proprietary driver 1.9746 with 3-D Accln etc..i booted the kernel with an extra param called noapic , and then sax2 -m 0=nvidia did the trick for me.. if required i can share the xorg.conf etc..I am not a gaming freak but playing something as trivial as chromium on this card tells me it wont be long before ...i change.
nvidia.ko running Nvidia is awesome...wish they would open source the code.. Thx Digz On 11/10/06, Matthias Hopf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Please open a bug report with all your findings. Seems like you stumbled over a problem with a pretty new card (didn't know of 6150 upto now). So there's probably a bug lurking in the driver / in the installation process, which more people could fall into. http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:X Matthias -- Matthias Hopf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> __ __ __ Maxfeldstr. 5 / 90409 Nuernberg (_ | | (_ |__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone +49-911-74053-715 __) |_| __) |__ labs www.mshopf.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
