It is available through YaST Online Update. Start YOU, and in the list of available updates scroll down until you find the nvidia entry, mark it for installation, run the "update" and you should be good to go

I have tried renaming a few of the libGL* drivers in various directories starting at /usr/lib but nothing seems to help.

RPM doesn't care about what is on your hard drive, only what is in your rpm database, so renaming files is a futile exercise.

I just tried the YaST Online Update and I still can't run Quake3. It gives me the missing GLX errors even after I tried to install GLX again. I get the same error. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated. -Robert

You need to restart X to get GL running. You can do that by logging out and back in again. You should see the nvidia logo when you log out

I did restart X and I did see the NVidia logo but I still get the same errors when trying to run Quake3 and when trying to install GLX package. I am trying to install NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.suse80.i386.rpm and it keeps giving me this error: warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o from install of NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880 conflicts with file from package XFree86-server-4.3.0.1-46 I wish it would tell me what the conflict is. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert

What does this mean? Did you do anything with GLX other than running the Online Update? Forget about that 8.0 rpm, just delete it, it is of no use to you

Thanks for your help Anders. I do see the nVidia logo but I still get GLX errors.

I wish it would tell me what the conflict is.

The conflict is that you're trying to install a package that is a) ancient as hell, and b) not intended for this version of suse

DON'T DO THIS!

I don't know a shorter way of saying it.

DELETE THAT ¤#"¤" 8.0 RPM!

If you see the logo then you have opengl and glx installed and running. You can check by running glxinfo. Near the top it should say "Direct rendering: Yes" if GL+GLX is active

Then run quake with

quake3 +set gldriver /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

IIRC (haven't run quake3 in a long while and I don't have disk space right now to install it, but I think that was the command)

<snip>

...

...loading libGL.so.1: Initializing OpenGL display

ok, so it is loading the correct library

...

...setting mode 8: 1280 1024 Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.2 XF86DGA Mouse (Version 2.0) initialized XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 1280x1024 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

What does

grep glx /etc/X11/XF86Config

say?

Load "glx"

I didn't have to do this when I installed on 9.0 or 9.1, but maybe you need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and in the section "Module" add a line

Load "glx"

then log out and back in and check with "glxinfo" in a konsole window. Near the top it should say "Direct rendering: yes" when you have everything working

just to check their done properly press <ctrl-alt-backspace> to kill your x server (logout first if you wish), then cd to /usr/share/doc/nvidia as root. once there do a ls and there should be a package called NVIDIA-<crazystuff>.run, execute it with sh, and the installer should pop up. Just follow the instructions then go "/etc/init.d/xdm start" and that'll bring x back up. Now you gotta go to the nvidia website and make the changes to your XF86Config file laid out in the readme for a linux install. If you don't have/can't find the .run package then just download it of the nvidia site and follow above instructions using it. If you get really stuck mail me back or check out the guide somewhere in the suse portal. On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 23:01:18 -0700, Robert Pollard wrote:

when in a VC (texxt terminal before you install any Nvidia drivers run init 3 then install the drivers then init 5 this way kills all traces of X off to start with then Re starts X and your Desktop of choice Correctly the ammount of cludges i see for getting Nvidia drivers up is unbelievable .

"/etc/init.d/xdm start" and that'll bring x back up. Now you gotta go to the nvidia website and make the changes to your XF86Config file laid out in the readme for a linux install.

Well maybe you should try a System Admins knowledge of the system and add the location of the new libraries to /etc/ld.so.conf. Then run "ldconfig". You might also correct that file to match your system. I will say that I also have a Nvidia card and becareful not to overwrite the current same named files. As I remember /usr/lib/tff/files.so
