I have 1 of these cards on 2 boxes connected to different screens using both the DVI and the DVI to VGA adapter and the NVidia drivers with no problems. # lspci|grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1)
1-Running which OS?
2-Is this knowledge supposed to help produce working FOSS drivers in the devel version of openSUSE? If so, how?
I don't use proprietary drivers even in released OS versions, much less in devel versions while looking for bugs to file that might get fixed by FOSS devs.
openSUSE 12.1 Milestone 3, zypper dup from factory, vanilla kernel 3.0-rc7-git4 and the proprietary NVidia driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-280.04. I've had these cards some years now and they have been fully functional with openSUSE distros since the day I installed them. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
