My wife has a four year old Toshiba Qosmio G30 laptop, which has been running Windows Media Edition (a variant of XP) until about a week ago, when I installed openSUSE 11.2 + KDE 4.3.5 ;) She seems to be happy with the transformation so far. :)
A label on the front of the machine says it has an nVidia GeForce 7600 GPU, so I installed the appropriate nvidia driver 190.53_2.6.31.5_0.1-8.1
This was a disaster, resulting in no graphics login at all, and eventually I reinstalled 11.2 just to get back to the generic driver (none of my fiddling with xorg.conf seemed to work).
11.2 autogenerates the xorg.conf, so removing the driver should have been enough.
Is anyone else using this graphics card, and if so which driver are you using?
I have a 7600 GS and it works happily with the binary driver. I did not try the one from the repos yet. Currently I use: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.08- pkg2. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
