Can I ask about the symlink? Where is it and where should it point?
That was in a message Lars Ellenberg posted in this thread yesterday: ln -sf /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
I cannot get the accelerated 3D feature of nvidia to work. The installer claims it is successful, but 3Ddiag says the driver installation failed. The 'device' section of XF86Config shows the driver as "nvidia". XFree86.0.log says the glx module failed to load, but the nvidia driver is loaded. Is there is a symlink that should point to glx but doesn't? Or perhaps I have more serious problems. This is for SuSE 8.2 with kernel 2.4.20-109.
Not an issue on SuSE 8.2, as I said. The installer worked straight out of the box for me on four machines running 8.2. The symlink was broken on SuSE 8.1 and prevented the driver from building altogether thgere. And this is getting increasingly off-topic here, so I suggest you take your problem to suse-linux-e and post your actual error messages there (your rendition/interpretation of them are less useful).
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
