after complete set up of my SUSE 9.0 professional on my notebook, I would like to improve the graphical performance of the machine installing the 3D driver for an Nvidia video card, downloaded by Nvidia site as suggested during monitor set up. I have downloaded the script
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
and now I am ready to install it. Did anyone try to use it? Or do you have other best drivers to suggest before I go further (e.g., provided by SUSE itself)???
The downloaded NVidia drivers work very well and I'd use them. The Suse provided driver is really just a repackage (I think) of an older version of the NVidia drier. There is a readme on their web site about how to upgrade using Suse that I would recommend reading first. Its on teh same download page as the driver. Basically its this: as root do: #init 3 #./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run #sax2 -m 0=nvidia (this command is found in the readme, I'm typing it from memory so I'd check it)
