Re: [SLE] XF86Config-nvidia-geforce2 Ti
Wll tried and tried and tried. sax 2 wiil only run with "nv" rather than "nvidia" both glx and dri crash the screen and i dont seem to even have a editable xf86config or config-4 file. thinking about sticking my old nvidia tnt card back in, but im sure i had this working earlier on this machine 4 months ago. Yast 2 doesn't work worth a damn and i am now in a kindergarten type graphics screen. I also tried earlier installing the source nvidia files, Im going to try the nvidia list for a while: HOW to install NVIDIA drivers on SuSE 8.0 for a Geforce2 ti??? If anybody has a working step-by-step thanks.
I used sax2 to give me a good base XF86Config file, and from there made the improvements. I have 2 files (xf86c0nfigsax2.save and xf86configyast2.save) sitting in my etc/x11 folder besides my xf86config. Earlier i also had a xf86config-4 file which i take is the newer version. Do I need all these?
thanks for the tip
Just concentrate on XF86Config editing my XF86Config file ---Load "glx" and Driver "nvidia"
gets me: module loader present using /etc/x11/XF86Config Nvidia failed to initialize the Nvidia kernel module Screens found but none have a stable config. thnaks

Make sure you're loading nvagp as an option and do re-run the switch2nvidia_glx script at the command line and also run SuSEconfig. Matt
Hi, I find it easier to run Sax2. Under the card section, ensure that you click the load 3D modules button and select the 3D modules you want to load. Ensure that it select 16bit as your screen depth (3D desktop support does not run at anything higher or lower). Test it and save it. Restart the Xserver and Bob's your uncle. If you are still having issues, as root on a shell prompt run 3Ddiag and check what error messages (if any) are generated. This will point you in the right direction. I have currently set up 3D desktop support on a Riva TNT and a MSI GeForce3 Titanium 500 using this method, without the need to manually configure XF86Config.

This worked for me...Install via yast2 and then reboot. Edit your
/etc/X11/XF86Config file and feel free to take some of mine:

Just concentrate on XF86Config the -4 is used by Mandrake and Redhat to distinguish between XFfree86 version and version 3, but not many use version 3 anymore. Matt PS use Sax2 with nv option to give you your mouse and monitor configuration.
