Hi,
I have absolutely strange glitch on 10.1 (stock kernel from DVD, GeForce 5500) with nVidia driver 8762. Compilation and installation of nVidia kernel module went without any problem, commands like modprobe, switch2nviadia and glxinfo run successfully, but sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (and x.org) cannot switch to any other resolution but 800x600/60 Hz. No matter what I have tried (recompile nVidia driver, restart PC, editing xorg.conf manually, etc).
nVidia dummy driver can run on any other resolution which monitor supports, as well as 10.0 and the same nVidia 8762 driver.
There is a new kernel at: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/opensuse/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i 586 but kernel rpm and kernel-source DO NOT match: kernel-default-2.6.16.18-1.1.i586 kernel-source-2.6.16.18-20.1.i586
Anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance. Go to
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i5... If you use Zen Updater or Yast to install the source and default kernel, they should pick up all the dependencies. You of course will have to reinstall the nVidia driver. If you install the new xorg files that are available as well, you will have to reinstall the nVidia driver as well after that. Sometimes I have found it useful to run in a terminal window smart check smart fix It seems to catch one or two dependencies that Yast occasionally misses.
