Hi there,
My Thinkpad T61 Laptop comes with the following nVidia GPU:
lenz@thebe:~> lspci | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1)
According to the README and the online docs, this chip is not a "legacy GPU" yet and it should be supported by the latest driver (180.29)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html (supported GPUs for the 180.29 driver) http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html (legacy GPUs)
However, the following driver is currently installed:
lenz@thebe:~> rpm -qa | grep nvidia nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-pae-173.14.16_2.6.25.20_0.1-2.1 x11-video-nvidiaG01-173.14.16-2.1
G01 is the correct package combo on openSUSE 11.0, which you're apparently using. On openSUSE 11.1 you need the G02 one.
As I am using KDE4, I would like to be able to use the latest driver as this one supposedly fixes some of the screen update performance issues that I am experiencing.
In that case I'm afraid you need to switch to NVIDIA's installer or update to openSUSE 11.1. Hope this helps.
