Hi,

I think that I read somewhere that the full install of the kernel sources is not necessary any more to compile the NVIDIA driver but I can't find the information how to do it now on the internet.

You need kernel-flavor-devel package, ie kernel-desktop-devel

kernel-default-devel installs the full kernel sources as a dependencie... So I do have to install them?

Only if you want to use the NVIDIA-Linux-xxxx.run package.

It should not be needed/required as intention was to have smaller subset of files that are needed for driver compilation, not all 100+ MB of kernel sources. -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

A "kernel" module (nvidia.ko) needs to be built, so the kernel source is required and configured with "make cloneconfig && make prepare", then "sh NV*.run". This has to be done in runlevel 3, i.e X not running. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

The kernel module is nvidia.ko. If there is an error building it, there will be info in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log as well as an error that is thrown up pointing to the log file when trying to build the kernel module. When successfully built and installed, it lives at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko "modprobe nvidia" should also throw an error if the module is successfully built and installed but has undefined symbol errors.

the module is present there

"modprobe nvidia" should also throw an error if the module is successfully built and installed but has undefined symbol errors.

modprobe gives no error, and after lsmod tells me: nvidia 3931788 0

That means that the module is loaded right? Looks good.

Check the logfile for details of what went wrong.

the next step would be sax2 which still gives me the same error (I posted the log before)

I just want to be sure that it's really an issue to be posted there and not an issue of sax2. Please confirm again, and I'll post it there.

Thanks a lot Karl

From there starting X or init.5 if they work should point to sax2 as the

likely problem. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

That means that the module is loaded right?

My NVidia setup works fine w/o /etc/X11/xorg.conf or using sax2. Try, mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.trial since you have the nvidia module loaded, system should go to runlevel 5 ok. init 5 log in -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

A "kernel" module (nvidia.ko) needs to be built, so the kernel source is required and configured with "make cloneconfig && make prepare", then "sh NV*.run". This has to be done in runlevel 3, i.e X not running.

I did this, and the NV*.run worked, but then I had problem with "sax2 -m 0=nvidia"

The file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so is present on the system.

Is the nvidia module loaded? # lsmod|grep nvidia nvidia 9604746 32 i2c_core 23798 13 i2c_dev,dvb_pll,mt352,cx88_vp3054_i2c,cx8800,cx88xx,v4l2_common,nvidia,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom,videodev,i2c_nforce2,w83791d Regards Sid.

Yes. It is either kernel devel package, or kernel source, not both. To be sure that is bug please post devel package version, and repo where you found it, if it is not Factory. I want to check requires, before bug report is filed. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
