(*)BTW: the one-click install via *.ymp (likewise nvidia driver from repository, either via YAST or via Smart) doesn't work - the X server after such installation doesn't start. 2) problem after every kernel upgrade: X server doesn't start, sax2 doesn't work. The only solution to enable X-server is to change "nvidia" -> "nv" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Then I can repeat the console installation of nVidia driver and all is OK now....until tke following kernel update, of course... Isn't it a little bit stupid? Is there any solution (at least in development) to do all automatically? Kernell upgrade is relatively often and BFU is very frustrated (every user has not admin knowledges)... BTW2: on other older PC I have nVidia GeForce 2 with the same way of original nVidia driver installation (console, kernel-source, gcc) - all later kernel upgrades haven't any negative influence on nVidia driver (i. e. nVidia 3D function)... Thanks for reply and (better) for solution. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
