Hello, Juan, I'll test it just in case as soon as I have some time, but I think the problem lies with the X Server, not with the driver. I say that because it does not work with the open source drivers either. I've tried nv and nouveau with no success. Thanks for your suggestion, Marcelo Em Dom 02 Ago 2009, Juan De Vincenzo escreveu:

Have you tried installing the "hard way", just to see if that works? I have found this reference when googling the nvidia driver you used [1].

People,

I had an nvidia GeForce 8400 that worked perfectly in this opensuse 11.1 box. However, the video card failed and was replaced by an GeForce 9400 GT, which seems not to work with opensuse 11.1's X server (?!). sax2 detects the new card as VESA Framebuffer and gives me 1280x1024 resolution only (should be 1680x1050) and veeeeery slow graphics. If I force it to generate a xorg.conf file which loads the appropriate driver ("sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" or "sax2 -r -m 0=nv"), X aborts while loading. The "nvidia" driver was installed from nvidia's opensuse repository (http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1). I have installed Fedora 11 in this machine to test the card and it works perfectly well with Fedora, but I'd rather stay with opensuse. Is there a way to make this card work with opensuse? I have the following packages installed: kernel-pae-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 kernel-pae-base-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 kernel-pae-extra-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 xorg-x11-7.4-8.19.1 xorg-x11-server-7.4-17.6.1 xorg-x11-driver-video-7.4-19.8.2 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-pae-185.18.14_2.6.27.23_0.1-2.2

I think that your problem is in nvidia drivers which is builded again another kernel version...youyr pae is 2.6.27.25-0.1.1 but you nvidia drivers is again 2.6.27.23-0.1. So try change kernel version or nvidia driver version.

Josef, These are the most recent version of each package available in the repositories. They are working on other opensuse 11.1 machine of mine, however with a GeForce 8400. Also, I can't make the open source drivers (nv and nouveau) work with the GeForce 9400 either. I have reinstalled opensuse on this machine and they still do not work. The installation program sets the system up with the VESA framebuffer driver.

I'm missing the x11-video-nvidiaG02 library in your rpm list (this is the driver in fact).

Peter

Peter, Go to the NVidia web site and download the latest driver version 185.18.29. Open a command line where you downloaded it to and type sh <installer file.run>.

Make sure that you have the kernel source for your running kernel installed (as well as gcc + the usual dev stuff) and that you have at least prepped the sources by running make oldconfig && make prepare on the kernel sources.

The nvidia installer will then compile the new kernel modules and driver and complete the installationl.

The only drawback to doing it this way is that everytime you update the kernel you'll have to go back to the installer and run sh -K to rebuild the kernel module. Installing from the nvidia repository avoids this but you have to be sure that the version you're installing matches exactly your running kernel.

Regards, Rodney.

PS I have the 9400GT running perfectly under factory (11.2/KDE4.3RC4).

Hi Rodney, thanks for your explanation and you are right about the drawback. In contrast to Marcelos configuration the default kernel and GeForce 8600 GTS is up and running on my machine. But nevertheless in his list of installed packages the x11-video-nvidiaG02 library package is absent - compared to my installation. (May be slipped or really missing.) Some time ago as I upgraded to 11.1 I had trouble to get the NVIDIA card to work because exactly this package wasn't installed. Sorry if my answer to Marcelos mail wasn't clear enough.

What repository are you using for Factory?

Patrick, I'm using the following: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_Fact... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE%3a/KDE3/openSUSE_Factory/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/ http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/ Yes, there can be some compatibility issues with Packman and factory but that's the price I pay for being on the "bleeding edge". Actually, the system is really stable and usable at the moment. Occasionally there is a glitch with an update but nothing I haven't been able to resolve.

NVidia proprietary drivers wouldn't work because of Kernel:/HEAD repository. NVidia drivers needs kernel module compiled against your kernel and if you are not running 11.1 kernel... You can use nv driver (which doesn't have 3D and I think it doesn't support dual mode).

I know, but I don't have the problem. The nvidia driver version 185.18.29 compiles fine against the 2.6.30.2-1 kernel sources from Kernel:/HEAD. No problems whatsoever. I was providing advice to someone else who was having problems getting the same video card going on 11.1 (which for some reason didn't install the correct kernel module via Yast). My advice was to follow the manual installation route (from source) but make sure that the appropriate kernel sources are installed and prepped first. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I was particularly interested in the repo for nvidia drivers. I am presently installing by "hand", the NVIDIA****.run scripts w/o a problem (except everytime an update for xorg-X11-server is installed, it removes the symlink to /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.185.18.31). btw, add "--update" to the sh ./NV.... command and you will automatically dl and install the latest version if you didn't see there was an update.

Yes, there can be some compatibility issues with Packman and factory but that's the price I pay for being on the "bleeding edge".

I included packman 11.1, but cannot get audio to work, haven't messed with video and dvd/cds yet. I can get flash presentations in firefox and streaming audio, shoutcast radio, to work *most* of the time, and system startup and shutdown sounds and test work, but cannot play mp3s. NVidia CK804 with ALC850 (NVidia CK804), hw:0,0 and hw:0,2 Removed pulseaudio becasue of constant web traffic when it was present. And it was not configured to use network! Not knowlegable enough to make intelligent bug reports about sound :^(..

Actually, the system is really stable and usable at the moment. Occasionally there is a glitch with an update but nothing I haven't been able to resolve.

Yes, here too. I have been running 11.2 since June 28 both as desktop and file/web server. presently listening to: http://www.shoutcast.com/shoutcast_player?stationid=948&Genre=Soft&ContentFlag=1&isCallInternal=YES&related=null on firefox. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
