You need to restart X to get GL running. You can do that by logging out and back in again. You should see the nvidia logo when you log out
I did restart X and I did see the NVidia logo but I still get the same errors when trying to run Quake3 and when trying to install GLX package.
I am trying to install NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.suse80.i386.rpm and it keeps giving me this error: warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o from install of NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880 conflicts with file from package XFree86-server-4.3.0.1-46
I wish it would tell me what the conflict is.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Robert
It gives me the missing GLX errors even after I tried to install GLX again.
What does this mean? Did you do anything with GLX other than running the Online Update? Forget about that 8.0 rpm, just delete it, it is of no use to you you will nopt get the NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.suse80.i386.rpm to install it is not the right one it WILL FAIL ... i have seen at leat 2 other occaisions you have been told this so far ..
have you tried the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia site ..>?.... http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-6106.html i can see no reason why these should fail there is no need to use OLD ANTIQUATED drivers read the info on the site do what it tells you (print of the readme ) then you got it all the time follow the instructions and you should be away btw the command line is far more powerfull than the gui ....... Ctrl+Alt+F1 login as root init 3 run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run follow the instructions read them it can get a little confusing if it cant find precompiled modules you do by the way need THE FULL COMPLETE kernel sources installed everything for your kernel version in /usr/src/linux if you aint got more dirs under linux full of .c files you aint got a full install , Once you have sorted that and run sax (if you trust it i dont) then run init 5 and bingo X running if you have changed any of the libgl stuff reinstall from your cd´s and try again . as was said rpm dont care about the contents of the Hdd it´s the rpm database that counts if that says one thing but the Hdd says other then sorry but the Hdd will looses simple . pete. -- Linux user No: 256242 Machine No: 139931 G6NJR Pete also MSA registered "Quinton 11" A Linux Only area Happy bug hunting M$ clan PGN
