Follow the thread a little further and you'll see that it is not related to
cedega alone. In fact it affects ut2004 for example.

Me too, mostly. I still enjoy fallout 2 and baldur's gate under wine, though.

I'm having a problem with mplayer, I was able to get it to run on SUSE

My problem is solved.
Getting the kernel and source in sync then setting all up in sax2 when
in init 3 proved to solve it at last. Some of the other stunts along the
way, may have contributed - I couldn't tell.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I have an NVIVIA Geforce 4000 (as far as I remember), and I have had
trouble with it through several SuSE installations. However I have
always managed to get it to work and it works just peachy when I need to
use Windows.
I just installed 9.2 and to no surprise YOU couldn't install the driver
so I tried to install it using the .run file from nvidia-com. After
going into "init 3" this is what I get:
1. My system does not find a precompiled kernel interface, so it tries
to download one from nvidia.com. There is no one there either.
2. When trying to make a kernel interface I get an error stating that
the kernel header file
/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.11-default/build/include/linux/kernel.h was not
found. This could be due to kernel-src not being installed, so I
installed the additional package.
3. Tried again and after additional errors I found that kernel.h was in
another directory.
4. ran "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24/include".
5. Finally I get: ERROR: unable to build NVIDIA kernel module.
Any suggestions?

You don't even need to copy it all just a simple cp
usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.11/include/linux/kernel.h /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.11-default/build/include/linux
should work

Hi Carsten,
My output looks similar to yours, but there are some differences (.11)
and I do not have the .config file.
Should I reinstall the kernel-source package? Note, first I installes
9.2 as a fresh install with format and everything, then I installed the
source package using yast, then I removed the source package and
installed it again. Between every step I tried installing the NVIDIA driver.
Another comment: I think there is something completely wrong with my
machine because I have other problems too. I cant get my onboard sound
device working (it works when booting into windows). When I had 9.1
video players only worked if I was root.
Anyway, here is the output:

Thanks for the quick reply.
I need to use the --kernel-source parameter since my system has the
kernel-source placed outside the path and the nvidia-installer does not
find it.
I did not state the 'include' directory. I was writing from memory.
Anyway, I did the following now:
1. init 3
2. "sh NVIDIA.... --extract-only"
3. cd <that-directory>
4. make install
This is the output I get:
If you are using Linux kernel 2.4 ....
If you are using Linux kernel 2.6, please make sure you have configured
kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you
specified a separate output directory using either "KBUILD_OUTPUT .....
*** Unable to determine the target kernel version ***
make[1]: *** [select_makefile] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/NVIDIA....`
make: *** [kernel_module_install] Error 2
That is it!
Any suggestions please?

Hello suse-multimedia-e,
I cannot get my WinTV card to work with kdetv, it says there are no
sources available :( I cannot find anything, as yet, on google that is
remotely close so any help is appreciated.
The same happens with other linux TV apps

Hello.
I need an advice about of a process of ripping tv-out stream. I try several
programm with some results.
kWinTV - catch video but can not catch audio stream;
kdetv - tell a message "VIDEOCMCAPTURE failed@;
xawtv - catch slow video stream without audio.
Kino - catch flicked stream.
Tell me, please, what kind of program used peoles for ripping video cassetes
or TV stream?
My system is SuSE 9.0Pro.
Regards,
Yuriy.
Hi
My system is SUSE9.2 on a notebook. TV card is from Terratec, Cinergy TV 400
mobility. In modprobe.conf.local I added the following line
options saa7134 card=8
kdetv does not find any channels - why?
If I start xawtv4 I get the following error message
station "0" not found
