Hi James, I've only been loosely following your saga and am unsure if you tried the manual way of installing the Nvidia drivers. This has always worked for me with multiple versions of SuSE on multiple architectures. It involves downloading a binary "run" program from Nvidia for your architecture. The pointer is here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html You then shut down your X server by issuing "init 3". But it sounds like you're there all the time anyway! Before running the Nividia install program you should probably return your Xorg.conf to it's original form. It might be saved as "Xorg.conf.install" in /etc/X11. Then follow the simple procedure that I've included below. Once again, this has always worked for me and is why I will use only Nvidia products if possible. I've always had problems with ATI. <from the Nvidia web site> People who aren't afraid of recompiling the nvidia kernel module or even reinstalling the nvidia driver each time the kernel has been updated and want or need to use the latest and greatest nvidia driver can use the following steps 1-3. The others should use the instructions above using YaST and skip the steps below. 1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means installing the 'kernel-source', 'make' and 'gcc' packages with YaST2. 2) Use the nvidia installer for 100.14.19. sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run -q 3) Configure X.Org with sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (0 is a digit, not a letter!) NOTE: There is no need to try to enable 3D support. It's already enabled, when the nvidia driver is running. IMPORTANT: You need to recompile and install the nvidia kernel module after each kernel update. sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run -K Regards, Lew Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
