This does not look right. You're running a 32-bit kernel! You need the 64-bit SUSE Linux 9.0,
Hmm. Sure ? uname -a Linux linux 2.4.21-166-athlon #1 Thu Dec 18 18:24:05 UTC 2003 i686 athlon i386
This is a 32-bit kernel. It might run on AMD64, but you're trying to compile the 64-bit Nvidia module A 64-bit kernel should have something like (this is my self-compiled kernel): $ uname -a Linux gromit 2.4.21-202-default #1 Fri Feb 20 08:12:57 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
GNU/Linux I installed from the SUSE 9 prof upgrade DVD.

and may explain my problems with some parts of the system - e.g. sound card not working. just ordered the suse9 amd64 package let's hope for the best. tks for your help Juergen
howdy, I got afterstep to load, but it won't run a few set up commands and I figure I just need to add to my PATH variable. But everything I've tried doesn't work. I edited /etc/X11/xim, I added .bash_profile, and edited .profile but nothing changes. Where does SuSE set the PATH variable, and how can I add to it before the window manager runs? I also checked in the User Guide and Admin Guide, but it doesn't say. I've started beating on 2.6.3, but all I get is a black screen so far.... Talk about flying blind! Any hints appreciated on that too. Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike

Looks like /etc/profile and then /etc/profile.local. I think ~/.bash_profile also works, though -- I added this: # set PATH so it includes /sbin if it exists if [ -d /sbin ] ; then PATH=/sbin:"${PATH}" fi Exit bash and log back in to activate. Works on my end. And maybe ~/.profile will work? Cheers, David

The sound card should work the same way with a 32-bit and 64-bit kernel... Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Well, it doesn't. The FSC D1607 seems to have a problem with the onboard sound. (no onboard sound flame wars pls - I know that a cheap sb would solve this problem) I get the following error message each time the system touches the sound card and absolutely no sound and yes I tried all the settings in YAST and I tried alsamixer. brgds Juergen
