For 7.2:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.1. 0-SuSE.old/suse72/
For 7.3 I would just reinstall the defaults from the CD's...they work. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org
Did you check for stale symlinks after upgrading?? Copied from the NVidia README: "Problems will arise if applications use the wrong version of a library. This can be the case if there are either old libGL libraries or stale symlinks left lying around. If you think there may be something awry in your installation, check that the following files are in place (these are all the files of the NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Driver Set, plus their symlinks): /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.x.y.z /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so -> libglx.so.x.y.z /usr/lib/libGL.so.x.y.z /usr/lib/libGL.so.x -> libGL.so.x.y.z /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.x /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.x.y.z /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.x -> libGLcore.so.x.y.z /lib/modules/`uname -r`/video/NVdriver, or /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver" Everything seemed to work OK after the installation of the new drivers, but X complained it could't find the right driver for GLX. Executing switch2nvidia_glx resulted in KDE crashing out when you tried to start it Anyway, in my case the "make install" didn't make new symlinks to the new libs. Cheers, Marcel
