[opensuse-factory] graphics card on t61p can not be supported by opensuse 10.3
I've installed nv driver and run sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia But the graphics card is recognized as "Framebuffer vesa". lenove thinkpad t61p's graphics cards is nvidia quadro 740m.

Your procedure was wrong. The nv driver, is the opensource driver, and You do'nt need to execute "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia", because this parameters for sax2 are for the propietary driver. The propietary driver appear in xorg.conf as "nividia", and the opensource driver appear as "nv". For installing the propietary driver, You can download it from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html You must has installed the kernel source, and must go to init 3, and executing the file with "sh nvidia*.run" as root. Later after completed the nvidia script, execute "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

And probably adding option "-q", see http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia#Install_the_drivers

This did *not* work for me with Beta 3 on a R61, yielding to the same problem the original poster described, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285003#c9 Gruß Jan -- Apathy is the worlds fastest growing disease.

Sorry for I don't say very clear. I just installed the nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com and run "sh nvidia*.run" . And the graphics card still recognized as "Framebuffer vesa"

See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285003#c9 Use vga=normal as a kernel boot parameter and then "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia". If you get the native resolution, do not change any setting and accept the sax2 suggestion.

Hmm? IMHO this is a sax2 bug and not a nvidia driver bug! However, I updated the nvidia driver to the latest one and sax2 still ignores its presence.
