yes theres something going on. I noticed from the sax thing you can send the file to sax@suse.de or something so Im going to do this. I am not sure that 3d is setup or not. i can run opengl stuff, some is fast. but i am going to check that also going to check the little tips on Tomshardware setup whatever, without this list and tomshardware i would have been flummoxed. dids Filip wrote:

Do you agree now with me that there is something wrong with this AGP chipset ! Something does't match between SMP - MTTR ( kernelheader ) -AGP. In my sons computer ( geforce2 and same AGPchipset as you ) sax2 crashes aswell. I had to copy the /etc/X11/XF86Config file made with my PC to his PC. Even then I had to put the option "NvAGP" "0" in the screen section to make it work.

Surprisingly was that RH7 recognized an nv driver during setup while Suse7 just screwed up.

By the way there is a package agpgart somewhere in the x series.

Enjoy your mx card

OK in case anyone wants to know how to advise an mx card user what to do. ( and Suse really needs to update the support database )

1) install 7.0 clean 2) removed xfree86 stuff using yast 3) install rpms of xsuse 4.01 from ftp.suse.de 4) follow instructions in readme 5) installed suse nvidia directory as per instructions in readme 6) ran xf86config ( sax and sax2 dont see the mx version of the card ) 7) open /etc/X11/XF86config. and changed driver in device section to nvidia 8) insmod agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1 9) insmod NVdriver 10) xinit -- /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86

Important things to note, sax2 ran once, but failed afterwards. It didnt know what the card was. XFree86 -configure doesnt work either.

So it was relatively simple except i wouldnt have known to try the parameter on insmod agpgart. ( Id never heard of agpgart until this week ).

Also im not sure my 3d stuff is working yet. but I'll wait for 4.02 now.

This better work on my next reboot
