LeRoy, thanks for this reply. Please clarify -- I am just a beginner:
1) "Chmod it to executable..." What does that mean?
2) "... and that sort of thing..." This is so open-ended I have no idea what to look for or what to do.
3) Is the Nvidia driver you're saying I should download **different** than the one I get with the YaST on-line update?
Thanks again. ;o) Gil
I think you will be OK with the nvidia driver that you update using YOU. It may not be the latest but using it means you will always get the latest available via YaST/Online Update. If you update the driver directly from the Nvidia site using their script anytime you have a kernel update you will need to update the nvidia driver manually, otherwise the driver is included with the kernel update. As a beginner try and keep things as simple as possible until you have more knowledge i.e. the chmod command. One day everything seems to just fall into place. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
