SuSE 9.1 and Nvidia from YAST = Nothing
The first thing I did after I've installed SuSE was to update thru YAST. As mentioned in the SuSE Nvidia FAQ, I included the Nvidia drivers, and installed them via YAST. After the re-boot there's the all-to-familiar black screen. I edited the XF86Config and changed nvidia to nv. Have anyone succeeded in installing the Nvidia drivers?

So, after the black screen you went back to the nv version to get a desktop? What motherboard do you have? lspci output would be helpful (need to be root), as well as output from Xfree86.0.log (in /var/logs/), although you may want to hit Nvidia and your motherboard manufacturer with a very old Herring.
From lspci, looking for an output similar to these:
Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 735 Host (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS 530 Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4) Matt
I also had problems installing the NVIDIA drivers. After trying everything mentioned on the NVIDIA website for Suse users, I ended downloading the .run script and running that. It then worked OK. Art On Fri, 2004-05-07 at 16:48, Matthew Johnson wrote:

I did the same thing and it worked despite that the "arrows" for the
K-/Suse-aubmenues are not there (so there is a gap between the main- and
the utilities-submenue when I choose "utilities").
Is there a fix for that?
Thanx, Gery

For me it did not work to install them through YAST. Go to the nvidia site and download the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run shar archive. Also read this http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO. Things to be aware of ... Boot into the machine at runlevel 3 and log in as root. Make sure you have installed a full set of kernel sources BEFORE you run the shar script as it needs the kernel headers to compile the driver module. The sax2 step takes a LONG time. During that time there is no progress indicator just a total blank screen. I have a 2.5GHz Pentium and the first time I aborted because I thought it was hung ... JUST WAIT. When you are successful you should see the Nvidia splash screen for a second before the X splash screen. Hope this helps john On 17-May-04 peter Nikolic wrote:

Also what you may have missed is that when you did the update with YAST there was also a kernel update that installed AFTER the nvidia driver was installed, which means that the nvidia driver was created based on the "old" kernel which was then updated farther down the page?? Confused yet?? So just install with the sources from nvidia or uninstall and reinstall with YAST the nvidia driver and you should be good to go Hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: listhub@libros.andante.mn.org [mailto:listhub@libros.andante.mn.org] Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 12:14 PM To: peter Nikolic Cc: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 9.1 and Nvidia from YAST = Nothing For me it did not work to install them through YAST.

I was excited to hear that 9.1 included a nice working version of gnome 2.4... however, after installing I discovered that I can't open Yast while in gnome. After entering my su password in the prompt, I get a "Timeout when trying to execute 'su'." error. I can run it from the command line. Any ideas on a simple fix? m
