Before you install the proprietary drivers from Nvidia, the open source driver provided by openSUSE is " nv ". It has no version number.

After, you install/compile the Nvidia drivers in ther kernel, My Computer or sysinfo should always show the driver version number in the "Driver field".

The Driver field should only accept a number string NOT a character string.

In reinstalled openSUSE 11.1 and it shows the correct way under Display Info.

Yes I'm aware of this. MyComputer shows nv even though the Nvidia drivers are installed and working. On my 11-3 it is 195-36-03 and on my 11.2 system it is 190-53. Prior to upgrade to KDE 4.4.1 both showed nvidia, now they show nv, but hardware info and installed drivers show nvidia versions. Here is what mycompter shows: Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: GeForce 8400 GS (0x0404) Driver: nv Here is YaST hardware info: 138: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_404' info.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation' pci.product = 'G84 [GeForce 8400 GS]' pci.subsys_vendor = 'eVga.com.

This is the driver that is 'in use' after we install the openSUSE OS. The 3D driver filed will shows the Version of Mesa installed. After, the Nvidia driver is installed by 'rpm' or compiled into the kernel, the 3D driver field shows the driver 'in use'. It will always show the company brand name followed by the driver version number. You can confirm this by starting up KInfoCenter --click on OpenGL.

Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: GeForce 8400 GS (0x0404) 2D driver: nv 3D driver: NVIDIA 190.53

Actually it's quite impossible that you use "nv" and closed source NVIDIA driver at the same time. I forgot to respect info about unloading modules while parsing Xorg.0.log. Should be fixed in svn. You should see "nvidia" as 2D driver when using closed source driver. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
