I'm trying different drivers because I'm trying to get a working display. The G02 driver is the one yast2 selects but it's not the right driver according to the description (I have an FX series card). For the G01: NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForceFX GPUs For the G02: NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForce 6xxx and newer GPUs My hardware hasn't changed since I filed this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=416044

From the SaX.log attached to that bug, the hardware is:

(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M rev 161, Mem @ 0xd6000000/24, 0xe0000000/28, 0xd4000000/25, I/O @ 0x2000/7 I'll be attaching the Xorg.0.log for the **nv** driver shortly. I can't get an Xorg log with the G01 drivers because the kernel module refuses to load. I'll try to get one with the G02 driver, for which the kernel module loads but I get an xorg error. -- 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.

Unfortunately there is no real logic behind the names of the Quadro chips. :-( So please attach the Xorg.0.log for G02.

By that I mean shortly after the 'interactive boot' prompt (the 5 second timeout one), I get: 1. a blank screen 2. my external keyboard stops working (microsoft natural 4000. I shall test again after removing the evdev line as described in bug 460756) 3. I can't even ssh into it and it never gets a dhcp address 4. the built-in keyboard still works, but the machine does not respond to control-alt-f1, control-alt-delete, control-alt-backspace (lots), nothing. Not even the power button triggers a shutdown, which it normally does. 5. this happens in **ALL** runlevels, including runlevel 1. This only happens when the external display is hooked up *and* the G02 drivers are installed. It happens even before /var is mounted so I have NO LOGS. The *only* way to boot this machine, is to either disconnect my external LCD or remove the G02 drivers. If the G02 drivers are installed but the external display is not hooked up, X still doesn't work right - the display is corrupted and shifted badly, despite multiple X server restarts. sigh. -- 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.

So. Pending issues:

1. the weird interaction with interactive boot scripts

Didn't understand at all what you've meant with interactive boot.

2. the *slow* restart of X.

Right. Known issue. Must be resolved by NVIDIA. Please report to directly to them. SUSE/Novell cannot fix that issue.

I hope to get the nv driver working someday, it's not worked since 10.3 for >me. :-(

As said before, please report upstream on bugs.freedesktop.org. -- 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.
