Don't forget to add the following in there as well: Load "glx" -----Original Message----- From: Tim Hanson [mailto:tjhanson@home.com] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 3:16 AM To: crrey; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] How NOT to have problems with XFree4.0.2 glx and nVidia TNT2 crrey wrote:

Also, put Load "dbe" (double extensions), "dri","GLcore", and you might

put in load "xie", "pex5" "record". I am using SuSE 7.1. I have also changed the driver from "nv" to "nvidia". I am very please with the performance. Also give the root command, formally - switch2nv_glx - now - switch2nvidia_glx. Also, I some cases it may be best to reboot. Before you reboot remember to edit the XF86Config file, otherwise it can become a very large pain (I got stuck once - no X and no way out but to warm boot and fsck after). Hope this helps and isn't to redundant!

Remember Paul's Law: "You can't fall off the floor." Okay, you lost me. I _think_ what you said was to add these lines to

also the Modules Section of XF86config: Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "GLcore" Load "xie" Load "pex5" Load "record" Right?

Okay, that finally did the trick. I went to the nvidia website:

http://www.nvidia.com/Products/Drivers.nsf/Linux.html

and downloaded the three files:

NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769.suse71.i386.rpm NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769.suse71.i386.rpm README.suse71

They are specific to SuSE 7.0 vs. SuSE 7.1, and are toward the bottom of the page, under the Red Hat and Mandrake downloads. I made a short script out of the README file and installed the drivers. Finally, following the directions at the SuSe support site:

http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/wengel_glx_nv.html

I added the following line to my Modules section of /etc/X11/XF86Config :

Load "glx"

That came up with no hanging and no error messages.
