Oh gawd, yes i have managed it.
And contrary to the advice on this list, its still a bugger even when you
know what you are doing.
I will try and write my steps to re-installation in the next couple of days.
If i can find the notes i made.
The key points i found after repeat attempts. were
1) Recompile the kernel
2) Install suse ftp xfree86 4.01
3) get the drivers from nvidia site
4) compile the above
5) make sure that you can call insmod agpgart with the parameters from
tomshardware.com
6) use xf86config to build an /etc/X11/XF86config file.
7) call xserver using xinit and the XFree86 server name as a parameter
/usr/X11/bin/XFree86 or something like that
and err that should work
you get better advice from Lenz, i did all this before he mentioned how to
do it.
