--- Comment #9 from Russ Fineman
Before you install the proprietary drivers from Nvidia, the open source driver provided by openSUSE is " nv ". It has no version number.
After, you install/compile the Nvidia drivers in ther kernel, My Computer or sysinfo should always show the driver version number in the "Driver field".
The Driver field should only accept a number string NOT a character string.
In reinstalled openSUSE 11.1 and it shows the correct way under Display Info.
Yes I'm aware of this. MyComputer shows nv even though the Nvidia drivers are installed and working. On my 11-3 it is 195-36-03 and on my 11.2 system it is 190-53. Prior to upgrade to KDE 4.4.1 both showed nvidia, now they show nv, but hardware info and installed drivers show nvidia versions. Here is what mycompter shows: Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: GeForce 8400 GS (0x0404) Driver: nv Here is YaST hardware info: 138: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_404' info.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation' pci.product = 'G84 [GeForce 8400 GS]' pci.subsys_vendor = 'eVga.com.
