Can anyone here tell me why I can't get the 3D drivers to work in I log on my user account? As root they work fine, but otherwise KDE locks up when the startup status bar appears. I'm new to Suse and have version 8.1. I have used the same drivers version of these drivers for Mandrake and Debian. Thanks Bill
Is your user account been given the group video permissions. If you associate the account with the group with the video group it should work. Just a thought, Curtis On Saturday 07 December 2002 12:04, bill brothers wrote:

It happened to me yesterday when I was installing them. I had to do what the file "/usr/src/kernel-modules/nv_glx/README" tells (as I had recompiled the kernel), and then run "sax2 -r" - modifiing the existing config worked as root, crashed as user. Also notice that there are different versions of the rpm for each distro. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

holla, as i said in an earlier post, it's 5am over at Grecia, and i just got done doing some raindancing/waving chickenlegs soaked in Gate's blood, in hopes that everything is alright and openGL/3D *IS* working and it's actually giving me more an 0.0012 fps in Unreal Tournament AND that it's not gonna crash ( i know i'm asking too much...) SUGGESTION: nvviews.net's linux discussion board is cool, but i really don't like having to go through 2K threads to find a possible solution to my problem. So, i think, i'll sit down and create a FAQ/HOWTO install the kavrona NVidia drivers just for SuSE. I'm running 8.0, but i'm asking for suggestions (in private email, por favor) from all the pueblo and all version. Gracias damn i got to get some sleep, but there's not enough hours in the day...

I have used the same drivers version of these drivers for Mandrake Look how the rights of your 'normal' video drivers are set (also look at the owner and group). Then install the nvidia 3d drivers and make the rights and owners of those files the same as your original video drivers. I've downloaded the drivers from the nvidia site and installed them, works great (except for a weird error message when running VICE ). Also, you will nead both the kernel driver and the glx driver !!!! (very important) and install the kernel driver before you install the glx driver grtz Dries -- <End of message>
