I have been trying to install / compile the legacy nvidia driver on my daughters computer with a GeForce 2 GTS card for 2 days now. Being new it took a little while to determine that I needed the kernel source loaded. Did that. Then it took some time to figure out where the source files were and then figure out how the command line needed to be entered to tell the installer where to search. Finally I get beyond the initial cannot find the kernel source errors and it appears to be compiling nicely. The indicator states it got to 100% and then I get an unable to compile nvidia kernel. Check the nvidia-installer.log for further information. I look at the log and it is very long and makes little sense to the low to middle end user that I am. Any ideas? I can post the log if needed but I had a feeling that this is not an uncommon problem. Thanks, Bob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Been there, done that. I don't want to be discouraging, but bottom line is that I had to either buy a new video card (which I did) or drop back to SuSE 9.x. Here's what I found out. The new nVidia drivers that work with SuSE 10 didn't support my legacy nVidia Quadro 2 Pro card. But the old drviers that did support my card didn't work with SuSE 10, even after a *lot* of tinkering on my part. Buddy Coffey Advanced Electromagnetics
