I think if you check back you will find instructions by Filip for this. If I remember what you need to do is get XFree86 4.02 which has built in support. Getting this card to work previously has been a nightmare. So try the above. dids

I accidentally blew away my entire 6.4 installation and upon re-installation I could not get X configured in any fashion. I tried updating Xfree86, Nvidia drivers, etc. all to no avail.
I got my hands on a copy of the Personal edition of 7.0 & have managed to get X configured w/ a hideous screen (640 x 480 w/ disgusting colors). I tried Sax2 but it said it could not find the appropriate X server. It then asked if I wanted to activate Xfree86 4.0. I said yes & let it go on its merry way. Still no luck. I then installed Xfree86 4.02 (the suse 7.0 rpms) along w/ the nvidia drivers. Still no luck. Sax2 keeps telling me it can't find the right X server & that I should install it using yast. I tried that but could not find the right X server either.
So, what do I need & where do I get it? I have laboriously downloaded everything in the SuSE 7.0 update directory from the SuSE ftp site. I am about to burn a CD so if there's anything else I need..........
(I've also just printed several related docs from the support database, so maybe that will help....)
