Hi Anders, Thanks for the quick response. With the nodeps option I am concern that other postfix dependent packages may have problems later.

the MTA (mail trasport agant) is postfix rather than sendmail, I would prefer to use sendmail as MTA rather than postfix. So how do I deinstall

postfix so I can install sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm which I have downloaded from SuSe site.

When I attempted to install sendmail I have these errors; # rpm -ivh sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: postfix conflicts with sendmail-8.12.6-159 sendmail conflicts with postfix-1.1.11-114

Also when I attempted to remove postfix I have these errors # rpm -ev postfix error: removing these packages would break dependencies: smtp_daemon is needed by fetchmail-5.9.13-49 smtp_daemon is needed by cron-3.0.1-649 smtp_daemon is needed by mailx-8.1.1-603 smtp_daemon is needed by mutt-1.4i-114 /usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by lsb-1.2-42

If there were any packages that explicitly required postfix, you would have seen a complaint about it when you tried to uninstall it. But there were none, only requirements on "smtp_daemon" and "/usr/sbin/sendmail", both of which are satisfied by the sendmail package.

New subject: NVIDIA drivers for 3D function on SUSE 9.0

dear all, after complete set up of my SUSE 9.0 professional on my notebook, I would like to improve the graphical performance of the machine installing the 3D driver for an Nvidia video card, downloaded by Nvidia site as suggested during monitor set up. I have downloaded the script NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run and now I am ready to install it. Did anyone try to use it? Or do you have other best drivers to suggest before I go further (e.g., provided by SUSE itself)??? Cheers LM

The downloaded NVidia drivers work very well and I'd use them. The Suse provided driver is really just a repackage (I think) of an older version of the NVidia drier. There is a readme on their web site about how to upgrade using Suse that I would recommend reading first. Its on teh same download page as the driver. Basically its this: as root do: #init 3 #./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run #sax2 -m 0=nvidia (this command is found in the readme, I'm typing it from memory so I'd check it)

Why don't you let YOU install it for you? YOU gets the latest driver from nvidia, as far as I did see, and it worked fine for me. No need to play around yourself. HTH, Matt PS. next time please do not reply with your problem to another thread, but start your own.

No, but I have a similar issue, after installing the driver, sax2 said it cannot enable 3D on the card, and I have to download the "original" driver from Nvidia (which I just did, via Yast) :)) rwpitt@sbcglobal.net wrote:

I use two NVIDIA based cards in two different boxes, Why don't you download the driver directly from Nvidia ? On the command line, run : ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-xxxx-pkg?.run --extract-only where you replace xxxx and ? by the correct issues ! Edit the readme file and you'll get all the instructions for : -installation with SuSE -XF86Config file options It works great with 3D ( I get 6500 fps with glxgears) with kernel 2.6 and with 1024x768 fullscreen TVout. I got only one difficulty : don't use splash scree or your text consoles will be scrambled, so nu vga option at boot !! and due to this release, on some boards even without splash text consoles don't work, I decided to come back to release 4620 and text consoles work with 3D, TV out kernel 2.4 or 2.6 Michel

At the linux start-up screen, issue 'init 3' when you get control at the command line, issue 'switch2nv' then issue 'init 5' You will have X back but *no* 3d (and will not be using the new nvidia drivers). To use sax2, from an 'init 3' screen, issue 'sax2 -l' this will bring up sax2 at 600x480 (barely readable on lcd) note: I installed a new video (FX5200) card into an amd machine with an lcd and was unable to use 3d or the nvidia drivers (no, I do not know why and no-one has been able to tell me why/how). also: I did not try, 'sax2 -l -m 0=nvidia' (afterthought) -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711

Hi Luca, Try booting to run-level 3, logging in as root and running "SaX2 -l" (no quotes; lower case L.) SaX2 will start and run in "low res" mode so you can modify your settings. regards, - Carl -- C. E.

Have a look at the NVidia documentation that comes with the driver (the readme on the download page specifically for Suse users). I says that Sax2 may not report that 3d is enabled, but it actually is. Just ignore Sax2's message about not being able to enable 3D acceleration. Nvidia has done a really good job with their driver and it works well with both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. (Well, the latest one plays nice with 2.6.) The Nvidia driver is really easy to install: init 3 ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-xxxx-pkg1.run sax2 -m 0=nvidia init 5

Luca, Always use the NVidia drivers. You will have enough trouble anyway, especially if you are using an FX Series card. Also hit the Xfree 86 site for X config. Good luck recompiling a Kernel Suse Support is nearly useless. Donald Correll Luca Mollica wrote:
