Hello all, I installed the latest Nvidia blob on openSUSE 12.1 M2. However, the "nvidia module" fails to load. I installed using the x86_64 DVD. I have attached Xorg.0.log Has anyone else experienced this with the 64-bit installation? Cheers! Roman

You have to blacklist the NOUVEAU driver first. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The newer NVidia drivers include a script to do that - the latest is 275.09.07, as far as I can see the latest openSUSE version is 270.41. May be it's time to upgrade and lay the problem to rest. # cat /usr/lib/nvidia/pre-install #!/bin/sh echo "blacklist nouveau" > /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf # recreate initrd without KMS, if the use of KMS is enabled in initrd if grep -q NO_KMS_IN_INITRD=\"no\" /etc/sysconfig/kernel; then sed -i 's/NO_KMS_IN_INITRD.*/NO_KMS_IN_INITRD="yes"/g' /etc/sysconfig/kernel mkinitrd fi Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Unfortunately, for factory actually the NO_KMS_IN_INITRD has become KMS_IN_INITRD with a switch of the value. before yes, now = no :-) Roman, after an installation, the safest way to get nvidia blob installed is to reboot adding on grub line nomodset blacklist=nouveau 3 Then process to the nvidia_installer....sh and reboot a new time. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
