I have an nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 with Suse 8.1. It worked, both with the open driver or the nvidia supplied one, hardware accel et al. Then I upgraded the kernel to the one suplied by suse to solve the known freezing problem with reiserfs (ie k_deflt-2.4.19-174 and kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-115). But that forced me to use the "nv" or open driver, because the nvidia one failed. Well, I thought, it's just that it needs recompiling the kernel module, but I left it at that, I didn't need hardware accel at the moment. But I'm trying to set it up again to the nvidia driver (I want to play some games) and it is impossible - sax2, manual, using the old XF86Config that worked 4 months ago... no go. It works (I get the nvidia logo), but horribly slow: gears shows 5 or even 25 seconds per frame - no kidding. Even menus are slowwww... like half a minute sometimes to get the menu. The readme mentions that there could be some wrong links for glx libraries - but no, they are correct. lddconfig, depmod, sax2, suseconfig: no use. swith2nvidia, same. I tried installing the newest rpms: NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4363.suse81.i586.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363.suse81.i586.rpm Impossible. The kernel modules do not have the sources to compile for my kernel (ie, directory "/usr/src/kernel-modules/nv_glx/" is missing), so it doesn't even start (the binary must be set for the shipped kernel on CD). So I try NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run. It does install, and offers to compile kernel module, but the end result is the same: horribly slow. So... I'm open to sugestions. The only idea I have left is to downgrade to the kernel that came with the CDs, that is, the one that crashes with resiserfs (barrier code). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
