Hi: I finally got the courage to install the kernel sources and install the latest Nvidia driver. From runlevel 3 the Nvidia driver installed without issue. However when I ran the command sax2 -m 0=nvidia, sax started the spining bar appeared then the screen went blank, after a minuite or more I control-alt-deleted to reboot. When I rebooted there were no error messages and I got the NVIDIA screen as I logged into my user account. However when I ran glxgears I got only 17 fps. so something must be wrong. I looked in XF86config and all looked good. A lsmod shows the nvidia module loaded. Could someone help me figure out and correct what is wrong?
Have a look under /usr/lib to see if libGLcore.so.1 is linked to libGLcore.so.x.y.z and libGL.so.1 is linked to libGL.so.x.y.z. Note that in my case x.y.z is 1.0.5328. -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Fri 01/23/04 17:30 5:30pm up 6 days 2:23, 4 users, load average: 0.23, 0.14, 0.06
