Ok, Mike, show me what settings, configs, etc., you made to get your parallel zip to work! JLK On Tuesday 27 February 2001 07:37, you wrote:

First, the good news :-); After fresh 7.1 install: - sound card works (SB Live) - my GDI printer works (in color!!!) - my ISAPNP modem works - kppp works - Netscrape works (as well as it usually does) - my ZIP drive (parallel) works - my GeForce2 MX worked - could boot 2.2.18 or 2.4 no prob. Life was good.......

And then along came some Nvidia drivers. :-( Since I had already downloaded the 7.1 rpms from the Nvidia site, I decided to go ahead & install them as per the instructions in "Configuration of Nvidia- Chipset-based graphic cards (SuSE 7.1)" from the SuSE website. I used yast to install the packages, ran ldconfig, and rebooted. Started X and everything seemed fine. Got decent framerates, etc.

Then I chose to log out of KDE & go back into console mode. My screen goes black, the monitor goes into powersave mode, and I can do nothing except for a hard reset. Sax2 will not run (actually I got it to run once, but when I tried to test the X server, I got the black screen, powersave mode....etc.). This is the updated Sax2 by the way.

This exact same thing happened in 7.0 w/ the drivers from the nvidia site, and I never got it fixed then either (upgraded to 7.1 !).

How can I fix this? Any ideas as to what's wrong here? How can I get back to the original drivers? (I can find the nv_glx on the CD, but where is the kernel driver on the CDs??). Help..............

TIA,
