I read some old posts and they referred to a patch to nvidia from /pub/mantel well I checked and that isnt there anymore. can someone tell me how to compile nvidia and 2.4.18 thanks dids
If you are trying to install a 'made for suse 7.3' version of the nvidia drivers, then it won't work as it will be made for the default kernel of 7.3 which is 2.4.10, or the updated version of 2.4.16. At 2.4.18 you will most likely have to get the source straight from nvidia or the src rpms and do a rpm --rebuild *.rpm to taylor it to your system. I am running a vanilla 2.4.18 kernel, as I missed out on getting the 'suseified' version b4 the mantel directory went empty, and the drivers compiled fine for me. HTH

You can also get the binary version built for suse 8.0, since 8.0 is running 2.4.18. Anders
Suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.17 XF86 4.2 RivaTNT My attempts to get glx working failed miserably using rpms. In the end I downloaded the .src rpms and followed the Nvidia instructions to install them. See bottom of Nvidia download page. This worked ok. I lost my virtual desktops (hang) and had to do some configuring of XF86Config but things are going ok.
