Thanks for the help, got a little closer. Only problem now is that when I try to login with gui login, the keyboard does not work, that is, when I type, I get no characters for login name. If I login with mode 3, the startx, everything is fine. One difference, when I login mode 3, I get X Font Server Error that fonts.scale file is bad format. and filed to create directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype. This directory is there. According to XFree86.0.log after trying the gui login, the last line is XINPUT: Adding extended input device "NVIDIA Kernel Input Handler: (type: Other). This is also the same with command login and startx. Don't know if this has any thing to do with it though. This is without the switch2nvidia_glx in the rc.config file. If I put it in, then I can login but everything is sloooow. Fps with gears goes to 1/2 of the startx mode, from 1500 to 700. Used the .src.rpm with --rebuild for the 2.4.17 kernel instead of the suse rpms. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Johnson [mailto:matthew@psychohorse.com] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 6:05 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] NVIDIA Problems On Sun, 2002-02-03 at 05:56, Art Fore wrote:
I have Dell I8100 with NVIDIA Geforce2 Go which I have been trying to get going reliably for 4 months now. I am running Suse 7.3 which I upgraded to 2.4.17 kernel and then upgraded to XFree86 4.2. Other problems seem to be fixed, but have a new one. When I try to use the gui login, it still loads the opensource glx where it should load the NVIDIA GLX, and the keyboard does not work. If I login mode 3 command line, login, then startx, is loads NV-GLX.
I have done the switch2nvidia_glx which runs, then log in, it seems to be OK, but is still running NV_GLX according to XFree86.0.log. When I reboot, I have to run the switch2nvidia_glx again to get things to work.
Two Questions.
1. Should this not be NVIDIA_GLX instead of NV_GLX? (I am using 1.0.2313 Nvidia drivers)
2. How can I get the proper GLX to load when I use gui login?

I have an NVidia and here is my /etc/X11/XF86Config file: Section "Device" BoardName "AutoDetected" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "NvAGP" "1" Option "dpms" VendorName "AutoDetected" EndSection NvAGP 1 makes the device use the special Nvidia AGP module and driver is nvidia Try this too:
