Hi,
1° - I installed opensuse 11.2 with the Nvidia driver downloaded from Nvidia, everything works OK.
2° - I cloned the kernel, then compiled it, this kernel boots OK.
3° - I installed the NVidia driver on this cloned kernel, X doesn't start !!
Did someone meet the same experience ? and what can be done ?
Thanks for reply. Regards. Michel.
You need to compile the nVidia driver for the cloned kernel, and to do this you need <cloned-kernel-type>-source and <cloned-kernel-type>-devel installed before you compile the driver.
I thought we had a repo for that in 11.2? The whole compile the NVidia driver is fine for a single user system, but for a multi-user system it's too much of a hassle from my experience.
Maybe so - but I don't use the repo: I always compile my own driver - but with the variety of kernels now available in oS, is the correct driver installed to suit the version of kernel which is installed?
