Now my question is how can I load the nvidia drivers into the kernel? Do I have to re-compile the Xen-kernel to do so? Or is it just a matter of loading the drivers through a command?
I don't want to disable the nvidia entry in the X config as I need the graphics card to work properly to do my work.
Do you really need 3D? Because right now, the nvidia driver doesn't support the xen kernel.
No I don't need real 3D support. All I need is for the nvidia libraries to be loaded. Strangely enough Firefox browser is very slow if I am viewing heavily loaded (AJAX based) sites. After much researching GTK is to be blamed for it. So after installing nvidia drivers it fixed the problems.
There are patches floating around that makes it work partly, but if you want real support, you'll have to wait for it. The nv driver works though, you'll get everything except 3D acceleration
So where should I start looking for these patches? I came across this post: http://susediary.blogspot.com/2006/06/nvidia-driver-hack-for-xen-kernel-suse... but it seems a bit out-dated to me. cheers, Jeffery -- Powered by openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.18.8-0.1-default KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45.2" 2:21am up 2:55, 5 users, load average: 1.00, 1.31, 1.32
