[Bug 442807] New: can't get nvidia gfx card to work
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442807 Summary: can't get nvidia gfx card to work Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: jrock@fmbv.nu QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer I have a GeForce 7600 GT 256 MB graphics card, which I can't get to work in Beta4. During installation (Beta4 DVD 64-bit), everything looks nice. It's after it reboots for the first time and does automatic configuration that the graphics broke. When KDE desktop loads, the graphics are all garbled up. Luckily I can Ctrl+Alt+F1 into text mode, which seems fine. I download and try to install the drivers from nvidia's website, but I get "Kernel module creation unsuccessful" or something like that. Which means I can't enable the drivers in sax2... nvidia isn't available as a repository for 11.1 yet, but I tried to use the 11.0 one. I get an error message in "Software Management" in Yast saying it can't find vmlinux or something, when I try to add the nvidia driver from the list. The KDE Live-CD doesn't work either, as the graphics are all garbled up. VESA mode didn't work either. I have got openSUSE 11.0 and also Kubuntu 8.10 running with no problems on this machine. -- 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.
