Hi all, After upgrading my kernel (including the source) with YOU to 2.4.20-100, I have downloaded the NVIDIA Installer for Linux IA32. Subsequently, I followed the instructions in www.suse.de/de/private/download/xfree86/index.html section “SuSE Linux 8.2 with update kernel or self-compiled kernel”. - went to runlevel 3 (by restart in Safe Mode) - did the following : cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig && make dep cd /windows/e/Linuxdata/Downloads/nvidia/ (= my download directory) export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run - thus ran the NVIDIA Installer - then I changed /etc/X11/XF86Config section Device: replaced Driver “nv” by Driver “nvidia” (according to the NVidia installation instructions) - went to runlevel 5 --> No more display ! (remains black) !!!! - I solved this by running SaX2 (in Safe Mode) : set Monitor model = LCD 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz set Color & Resolution = 1024 x 768 - 24 bit After this I had my display back, but no 3D !!!! Looking in XF86Config shows that Driver is set back to “nv” (apparently by SAX2). So .... it seems that setting the driver to "nvidia" ruins my system ? Or , in other words, I think the new NVidia driver is not working correct here. BTW, I'm using a laptop with a 1024x768 LCD screen. What could be the problem ?
