Hi,
Well, after trying everything out without results ( rpm --rebuild, insmod -f NVdriver, define extraversion etc... ) I finally decided to go for recompiling 2.4.2 Had a very nice recompile, no errors. Then as SuSE suggested, I compiled the DRM modules. Smooth. Went for the NVidia tarballs, ./configure make install etc... no problems. Only problem was the sound emu10k1. That was resolved as Dids and Matthew said, --> alsa-project, download 05.10b driver, lib and utils and install them etc... Still have the black screen when stopping PC or ctrl alt F1,F2... System is 2xPIII 800, 512Mb, Nvidia geforce 2 Ultra 64mb, sblive and running SuSE 7.1 kernel 2.4.2, KDE 2.1. The system rocks !!! Opened in each of the 8 windows +/- 4 applications + DVD play. Never failed, swapped from one window to another ......WooAW!!!
So, Stuart ( excuse me if I'm inverting 1st or 2nd name ), give it a try on a WE. Backup your system and have FUN.

PS : If it doesn't work, revert back, how will SuSE know for the 90 days installation support !!!!

Hello, Filip.
You are the third person I know of to ask theis question in the last couple of weeks. Essentially, we need to know how to get the sourses and includes on our system for the SMP kernel that is installed, since we only seem to have the files for the default, non-SMP, SuSE kernel.
I think it's about time someone from SuSE stepped up to answer this, since no-one else on the list seems to know. There must be someone on the SuSE staff who can answer this.
Bye for now, Stuart.

Hi all,
Trying to install the new nvidia drivers. First I tried the tarballs, then the latest rpm's from nvidia. The error message I get is the following : /lib/modules/2.4.2-64GB-SMP/kernel/video/NVdriver : kernel-module version mismatch. /lib/modules/2.4.2-64GB-SMP/kernel/video/NVdriver was compiled for kernel version 2.4.0 while this is version 2.4.2.-64GB-SMP.
So can someone explain me how he managed to get those drivers working with 2.4.2
Any trick or something I can do to hide the kernel headers ?
TIA, Filip.
