[opensuse-factory] nvidia drivers on Factory?
[for some reason mlmmj rejected this mail last night - trying again] [Stefan (was in CC): thanks for the answer, I'll reply later.] Hello, I just updated from 11.3 to factory and wanted to compile the nvidia drivers. However, I get (nvidia-installer.log): ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.37-rc7-desktop/source'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option. Google pointed me to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142794 but even with the patch from there I get the same error message. Can someone give me a hint how I can compile the nvidia driver on Factory? (I'll also accept a link to a RPM of course ;-) My graphics card is a GeForce 8600M GS, and the nvidia website gave me NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run for download. BTW: I'm using a dualhead setup (laptop display + external monitor), and the nv and nouveau drivers don't do what they should :-( - nv only activates the external monitor, and I can't activate the laptop display - at least in kcontrol's monitor setup (Interestingly I was able to setup both screens when I booted a 11.3 live DVD some days ago. Not sure if it is a regression or if the existence of the old xorg.conf hurts somehow) - nouveau starts in clone mode, but hangs at logout (only SysRQ keys work) (Are those issues worth bugreports, or it is already known stuff?) Regards, Christian Boltz --
Naja das ist hier ziehmlich OT aber ich werde trotzdem mal meinen Senf hinzufügen. Senf? Beleidige nicht diese tolle Gewürzpaste, ja. ;-) [> "mrgates" und Matthias Houdek in suse-linux] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
