Hi there, Well some additional information would be useful: What is your graphics card? What Suse distribution are you using? What kernel are you using? What error messages (if any) are you getting? Are any messages appearing in any logs and if so what are they? (ie See /var/log ) Just what is the exact version of the NVidia drivers you are trying to get working? To give you hope: I have recently upgraded to the NVidia drivers v1.0-1541 for my GForce2MX card, running a kernel based on the SuSE 7.2 2.4.4-4GB kernel. Gears performance went from around 150 frames/sec to 1500!

That is a good thing right? :-) One thing I am still puzzled about is the AGP slot on motherboards and getting them working. Thru ignorance, I thought the AGP slot was automatically activated when power hit the motherboard, but after some research, fine that it has to be activated with software, such as the agpgart module or Nvidia's agp module. Well, since I have an AGP slot and a video card inserted there, I also would like to get mine working! The questions asked of me during my research included: 1. Is AGPGART package installed? 2. Is AGP enabled in your XF86config file? (ex: NvAgp=2) 3. Is AGP enabled in your kernel and loaded? My system responses: 1. Wasn't, but is now 2. Yes/No It is in my XF86config file, but running NvAgp=2 or 3 causes a system lockup at the login screen. 3. Yes, in kernel, supposedly loaded, but does not show up when you issue the lsmod commmand in a console. If you do a ismod agpgart command, the agpgart.0 module shows up, but does not seem to activate the agp slot as "gears" doesn't show any increase in speed. (presently about 400 fps with my card) Plus if you do a 3Ddiag, shows no agp or the lsmod, shows agpgart.0 (unused). Hints, advice, suggestions? I am open to them all as I would like to obtain a resolution to this mystery. end of line Tracer -- ---KMail 1.3.1--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb@sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com -- The content of this e-mail is confidential, may contain privileged material and is intended solely for the recipient(s) named above.
