Good evening
I'm still on my way to a fully automated SuSE 10.1 Installation. I'm
currently stuck with the NVIDIA Driver. Has anybody managed to do that?
I tried to do it with several ways, like including a small script into
my autoinst.xml, but everything fails. The last thing I tried was going
with "init-scripts", but that gave me the error:
I'm working on this for a SLED, but still ironing out a couple of bugs with 
trying to do it all by the book (using zmd/rug) and not just grabbing a known 
good set of RPMs and pulling them of a local server. 

So far, (in *very* ugly perl) I have the following bit of post install. 

#list of machines that use the fglrx driver
@fglrx_machines=(
	"0C4708", "2669VLM", "0FH884", 
	"Latitude D610"
);

#lets see if we do some xgl magic.
@a = `hwinfo --bios |grep Product:`;
$doXGL=0;

machine: foreach $line (@a) {
  $line =~ s/^\s*Product: "(.*)"$/$1/;
  chomp $line;
  foreach (@fglrx_machines) {
	if ($line eq $_) {
	  #found a matching line
	  $doXGL=1;
	  last machine;
	}
  }
}

#figure out what RPMs we need. 
#
$kversion = `uname -r | cut -d "-" -f 3`;
chomp $kversion;
if ( `hwinfo --gfx | grep -c nVidia` != 0 ) {
  #we have an nVidia card
  $rpms = "nvidia-gfx-kmp-$kversion x11-video-nvidia";
}
elsif ( `hwinfo --gfx | grep -c ATI` != 0 ) {
  #we have an ATI card
  $rpms = "ati-fglrx-kmp-$kversion x11-video-fglrx";
}

#wait for 5 mins for rug to settle down.
sleep 300;

if ($doXGL) {
  #magic Xgl install here
  print "Installing Xgl drivres\n";
#  print `rug in x11-video-fglrx ati-fglrx-kmp-default`;
  print `expect - << EOF 
set timeout 120
spawn rug in $rpms
expect " Software End User License Agreement"
send "q"
expect "Do you accept the license?"
send "y\r"
expect " Software End User License Agreement"
send "q"
expect "Do you accept the license?"
send "y\r"
expect "Transaction Finished"
EOF
`;

  print `/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl`;
}

As you can see, still some issues around rug trying to do it's install before 
ZMD has finished downloading the repo-data. (I think)
