Yes. And you may also have to adjust the INITRD_MODULES="..." variable in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (remove nouvau if it's in there, add nvidia). Then run mkinitrd. I'm not sure about that 'weak_updates' stuff, IIRC /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.16-desktop/weak-updates/updates/nvidia.ko should be a symlink to /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.1-desktop/updates/nvidia.ko

This is probably due to nouveau being in the initrd and being loaded from there during boot (c.f. "modeset" / KMS). Adding "nomodeset" to as kernel-parameter might help too.
What is the DRM?
A Direct Rendering Method/Model (?) used by X / the Kernel to access the hardware, c.f. also DRI and KMS, en.wikipedia.org should have entries to all those acronyms (just make sure with "DRM" to not confuse that with the digital restrictions management). BTW: a) there's sax3 in the repos, no idea how that works though (see before sig) b) you can have Xorg generate a "complete" xorg.conf as "autodetected" by running 'X -configure' and use that as a starting point for tweaking. You should move xorg.conf.d though in that case (e.g. move it to xorg.conf.d.SUSE) and use the "complete" generated and tweaked /etc/X11/xorg.conf from then on. ==== man Xorg ==== -configure When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware, and writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0). ==== IIRC it prints the generated config on stdout and does not overwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but better check that resp. save a xorg.conf if you have one. HTH, -dnh, whose xorg.conf is largely the same as the XF86Config that I used since ~1999 starting with SuSE 6.2 / XFree 3.3.6 ;) Twice I tweaked the Monitor section, a couple of times the Device section, and a few times the input sections. -- "If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music." -- Marcus Brigstocke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
