Let me start by saying that I realy don't have a clue what I am talking about, but let me say it anyway.
I am having problems with the latest driver 4496 - and some other people as well, but not all.
I suspect that those not having a problem are *not* using the Athlon-built kernel; or they are not using the very latest patched Athlon kernel *-20-100 but probably *-20-98 or earlier.
If one looks inside the nVidia's 4496 driver-file one will see a list of distros for which it has been precompiled and for SuSE 8.2 it states that it has precompiled interface for the Athlon kernel which has been updated to *-20-98, but NOT *-20-100 which is the latest patched one from SuSE.
When one looks inside the earlier (and the first *.run) 4363 driver, there are no such statements - and by happy coincidence it works perfectly with the lastest patched (#100) Athlon kernel.
Hey Basil, As you probably know, I also have been struggling with this driver for 9 days. However, I just solved my problem (although it was not with an Athlon kernel). The key to the solution was adding Option "NvAGP" "0" in the Section "Device" of my XF86Config. Have you tried that already ? Cheers, -- Jan Elders Nuenen the Netherlands
