Had lots of problems trying to upgrade the nvidia drivers. Currently running SuSE 6.4, Xfree86 - 4.01, and the 0.94 build of the nvidia drivers. I saw that there were some SuSE 6.4 rpms of the new 0.95 nvidia drivers & figured that it would be trivial to upgrade. The kernel driver apparently installed fine (at least it said so: "Nvdriver installed successfully", or something like that). The glx driver had some problems finding some of the libglx.o files (which was odd since I currently had the .94 drivers installed). In any case X wouldn't start - I could not get past the "unresolved symbol tqueue_lock error" . So I downloaded the tarballs and tried to proceed from there. The Nvdriver would not build - I kept getting messages about i840 being undeclared, or something like that. So I went back to the .94 tarballs and built them with no problems (except for few "unresolved symbols " when building the glx drivers - but I believe I had seen these the first time I installed .94, and it did not seem to cause any problems). I then was able to start X just fine. Also, I ran "ssystem - - bench" which worked fine as well. Any ideas why .94 works but .95 won't build? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
