Hi, I suggest you read a recent thread with Matthew setting up a geforceMx card. A lot depends on your mb. Give us some more specs. Is your NVdriver loaded? Is your mouse well configured in sax2? etc... filip. Le Samedi 3 Février 2001 16:13, Cleary_Mike@emc.com a écrit :

I accidentally blew away my entire 6.4 installation and upon re-installation I could not get X configured in any fashion. I tried updating Xfree86, Nvidia drivers, etc. all to no avail.

I got my hands on a copy of the Personal edition of 7.0 & have managed to get X configured w/ a hideous screen (640 x 480 w/ disgusting colors). I tried Sax2 but it said it could not find the appropriate X server. It then asked if I wanted to activate Xfree86 4.0. I said yes & let it go on its merry way. Still no luck. I then installed Xfree86 4.02 (the suse 7.0 rpms) along w/ the nvidia drivers. Still no luck. Sax2 keeps telling me it can't find the right X server & that I should install it using yast. I tried that but could not find the right X server either.

So, what do I need & where do I get it? I have laboriously downloaded everything in the SuSE 7.0 update directory from the SuSE ftp site. I am about to burn a CD so if there's anything else I need..........

(I've also just printed several related docs from the support database, so maybe that will help....)

Hi This is what you're looking for i think, QUOTE---> Got it working!!! Got a FPS of 190 using Ssystem! I used to get 80 on my Voodoo 4 2000 AGP (although that aybe driver related). Sometimes it hits 200! It was very easy to do once I realised a stupid mistake I did due to messing about trying to get AGP X4 mode running on Windoze (its used only for games btw). Thanks for filip for mentioning this, although at the time it did not sink in.... Here are the Laws: BIOS settings *must* have the option for signing an IRQ to the video card *enabled*! This is under PCI plug and play section, or something to that effect (search if you have to). Also, switch PnP aware BIOS to no. Make sure you have the Linux source installed (under d section), then make menuconfig, make sure MTRR is enabled (thanks again to filip for this one) and disable SMP, unless you have a dual processor system) Save this and then make dep. I rebooted after this. Then bring up Yast, go to choose/install packages and then FTP, edit the line so it shows this ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse/i386/X/XFree86 Then go to XFree86-4.0.2-SuSE, then suse70, select sax2 and install this. Then install all the x stuff (the directory above sax2). Finally go into the nvidia section and select nv_glx-0.95, you can probably select km_nvglx-0.95-2 too and it may work. However....I went to www.nvidia.com and driver section under Linux and downloaded the newest tarballs... I gziped -d and tar xvf them, went into the NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-6 directory and ran make. Did something different here, I enabled X4 mode (not recomended as it can freeze up VIA chipsets) through editing the os-registry.c file. Noticed that some pcmcia device has unresolved symbols, but ignored that. Next I gzip -d the NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-6 module and went into that directory and ran make, it took care of the rest. The reason I had to install the SuSE nv_glx driver was the fact that I was getting a MesaLib error with ldconfig. Well thats it, not too bad!! I made a big mistake not checking the BIOS....Oh well, now understand this deal a lot better. By the way 2.4ac12 has a fix for the VIA AGP problem, but I will wait for 2.4.1. Hope that helps someone somewhere! Matt UNQUOTE--> Thanks btw to matt for that
