Hi,
I have just assembled new PC with Intel Core2 Duo, Gigabyte m/b, Intel P35 Chipset, and Asus 8600GT/512MB PCIe video card.
Software: SuSE 10.2 with latest kernel update, latest nvidia driver from its web site installed manually ("modprobe nvidia" works)
However, neither "sax2" neither "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" do not work as expected - sax2 ALWAYS switch to framebuffer mode.
http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Video_Cards only goes to 8500. I think you will need the nvidia binary driver to get this to work. Or maybe a newer version of X.org's nv driver might support this card. The best bet is to install the nvidia driver. See http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA for info on installing the nvidia binary driver. It is easy.
I have replaced video card with MSI 8600GT, installed it into another PCIe slot, problem still exists.
Strange enogh, since lspci DOES lists this video card. Additionally, Windoze works on this PC.
Anyone can explain me what went wrong?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). -- Roger Oberholtzer
