Hi,
1° - I installed opensuse 11.2 with the Nvidia driver downloaded from Nvidia, everything works OK.
2° - I cloned the kernel, then compiled it, this kernel boots OK.
3° - I installed the NVidia driver on this cloned kernel, X doesn't
start !!
Did someone meet the same experience ? and what can be done ?
Thanks for reply. Regards. Michel.
You need to compile the nVidia driver for the cloned kernel, and to do this you need <cloned-kernel-type>-source and <cloned-kernel-type>-devel installed before you compile the driver.
Compile the driver, yes. The rest, no, as the right files are there after the kernel was compiled.
In this instance, yes, because the kernel was compiled.
Hi,
Thanks for your replies and suggestions. There should be a bug in 11.2. I use the same driver, with the same xorg.conf with 11.1 and it works fine with the native kernel or with a compiled kernel.
I give up and wait for a fix or for new ideas.
Thanks again. Michel.
No bugs as far as I am aware. I always compile my own driver (190-42) and did so only the other day. But "xorg.conf".....11.2 does not have an xorg.conf UNLESS you generate it yourself using sax2 (as root) or allow the compiled nVidia driver to use sax2 to set the parameters. If you create your own xorg.conf it will be used to OVERRIDE any parameters set (?by HAL) at boot-time of oS.
