My question is why there is a "Driver Info #0" as well as a "Driver Info #1" entry.
My xorg.conf contains:
Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce 6600" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nv" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "XaaNoOffScreenPixmaps" "on" Option "XaaNoPixmapCache" "on" Screen 0 VendorName "NVidia" EndSection
So I expect the #0 entry. I do not expect the #1 entry. I would have expected it to be an either/or thing, but not both drivers.
There should be both of them. What you're missing are sections "Driver Status" (active/not active) Can you fill bugreport for that? -- Best Regards, Michal Zugec Software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: mzugec@suse.cz Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 296 542 374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Those are the available drivers for that hardware. The ones you have to choose from. Only one at a time can be active, but hwinfo will list both options -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK. I did think I made the choice in my xorg.conf file. Is there another place to make this choice? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

You misunderstand. It will always list all options, no matter what you configure. If you use YaST to configure the hardware, it will also tell you which choice is currently active, but it will still list both options -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK. If I use the nvidia driver, I do not use YAST to tell this. Maybe that is why it is not telling me which is active? I usually install from the nvidiaXXX.sh file and not the RPM. Would the RPM get this set so I know which is active? The reason this is important to us is that we order systems from SuperMicro where the components are always changed on us. We are trying to sort out a method so we can detect what might differ between 'identical' computers. hwinfo seemed a good choice. We will see how far it gets us. I expect there will be need to use more specific tools for some parts of this info collecting. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
