Thanks for showing me the forest between the trees :) The sleep didn't work, but giving SaX the driver to use works of course perfect.

look at your sax2 command line options you can tell it what driver to use specifically "-m 0=nvidia" I think is what you want to add.

Good day
Thanks for your answer. I'm almost done with what I wanted, still put in my autoinst.xml
<script> <filename>nvidia.sh</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source><![CDATA[ mkdir /mnt/install mount bali:/files/install/devel_ws /mnt/install sh /mnt/install/extras/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run -s sleep 10 /usr/sbin/SaX2 -a /sbin/init 5 ]]> </source> </script>
The sleep cmd there is just a try to solve my last problem. The driver now installs flawless, but SaX doesn't seem to care. Although if I run SaX manually again after the system is fully up it sees the installed driver and uses it. So I thought I might give the system a break before starting SaX. It's currently running so I'll see if it works in a couple minutes.
Regards André

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

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)
