Hello all,
I installed the latest Nvidia blob on openSUSE 12.1 M2. However, the "nvidia module" fails to load.
I installed using the x86_64 DVD. I have attached Xorg.0.log
Has anyone else experienced this with the 64-bit installation?
Cheers!

You have to blacklist the NOUVEAU driver first.
The newer NVidia drivers include a script to do that - the latest is 275.09.07, as far as I can see the latest openSUSE version is 270.41. May be it's time to upgrade and lay the problem to rest. # cat /usr/lib/nvidia/pre-install #!/bin/sh
echo "blacklist nouveau" > /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
# recreate initrd without KMS, if the use of KMS is enabled in initrd if grep -q NO_KMS_IN_INITRD=\"no\" /etc/sysconfig/kernel; then sed -i 's/NO_KMS_IN_INITRD.*/NO_KMS_IN_INITRD="yes"/g' /etc/sysconfig/kernel mkinitrd fi
Regards Sid.
Unfortunately, for factory actually the NO_KMS_IN_INITRD has become KMS_IN_INITRD with a switch of the value. before yes, now = no
Roman, after an installation, the safest way to get nvidia blob installed is to reboot adding on grub line nomodset blacklist=nouveau 3 Then process to the nvidia_installer....sh and reboot a new time.
Thanks guys but.... I discovered on my 64-bit machine that the kernel sources were slightly different. Maybe slightly incomplete to previous versions of < or = openSUSE 11.3. However, the installation left me with an "unloaded nvidia module" after the reboot.

Finally! Donn, That's great to hear that you got OpenGL to work! Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
