Hi,
I'm still getting frequent, intermittent hangs which I believe is due to a conflict between the kernel 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop and the nvidia video driver 256.53-16.1.
I'd like to try switching to the opensource nv/nouveau driver, but I'm not sure how to go about it. The xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau 0.0.15 is installed, according to yast.
Any suggestions, please?
Bob
Bob,
It's simple.
P.S. - yes you can simply edit the xorg.conf by hand despite all the warning garbage at the top of the file -- it is just a simple text file. Also, you can often get better performance from you card by googling the card name with xorg.conf option -- to get a list and description of options available for your gpu and the driver you are using (nv/nvidia). Also, I had terrible problems with the 2.6.34x kernels. I'm currently running the 2.6.35 kernel from the kernel/HEAD repo and I have had no issues with it. However, the current 2.6.26rc kernels in HEAD have been hit or miss. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
