So, which proprietary driver can I use - I want to show her the compositing fun and games in KDE 4 :)
The one I tried before says it's the "NVIDIA graphics kernel module for GeForce 6xxx and newer GPUs". I thought that applied to me. (7600 > 6xxx)
In oS 11.2 you just add the nvidia repository in Yast, and then run YOU. It will download and install the appropiate driver automatically.
Yes, and it suggests the same nvidia driver again (190), but I'm hesitant to try again, given the earlier difficulties, which happened when I ran nvidia- xconfig. If it's not broken, don't fix it, as they say.
Do not let nvidia create any xorg.conf, just skip that and let xorg figure things out itself on the next boot. 11.2 does not use a xorg.conf by default anymore. That way it always picks a working driver if you do not force it to do otherwise by supplying some broken xorg.conf.
