[opensuse] openSUSE 13.2 and nvidia Quadro FX 560?
I have an old Sun Ultra-20 with an nVidia Quadro FX 560 graphics card. I just upgraded to openSUSE 13.2 yesterday and now I cannot get my dual monitors to work properly. The website https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers says that drivers for the GeForce FX cards are available for openSUSE 13.1 and older only. Has anyone gotten the nouveau driver working with dual monitors and openSUSE 13.2 on an nvidia Quadro FX or do I have to figure out how to drop back to openSUSE 13.1? -- JY ------------------------------------------------------------ John E.

I don't have dual monitors so cannot answer your question. A question: have you tried compiling yourself the Nvidia driver - latest 340.46? If you do try could you let me know the result, please. It won't compile for me (for the FX660 Nvidia card) and I get the error message that the nouveau driver is installed but it is, in fact, "blacklisted" in /etc/modeprobe.d/ . [It *will* compile if I put "nomodeset" in grub2's boot parameters but then on booting into the system the whole system goes belly up when it comes to 'Start X server' (or words to this effect) where everything just hangs.] BC -- Using openSUSE 13.2, KDE 4.14.2 & kernel 3.17.2-1 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

nvidia driver supports since some released xrandr. Can you see the monitors through this interface? Try it on the commadn line with: $ xrandr

Yes, but you can use normal driver, which states: "Use 1-click install for openSUSE 13.2, 13.1, 12.3 and 12.2. " http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp I have that running on a develop machine with a "Quadro FX 580/PCIe/SSE2" dual monitor and 30-bit.

Worked out of the box with dual monitors (oS-13.2 KDE LiveCD). Even though it had too many glitches in daily use for my prefered 30-bit setup. kind regards Kai-Uwe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
