Hi, I have absolutely strange glitch on 10.1 (stock kernel from DVD, GeForce 5500) with nVidia driver 8762. Compilation and installation of nVidia kernel module went without any problem, commands like modprobe, switch2nviadia and glxinfo run successfully, but sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (and x.org) cannot switch to any other resolution but 800x600/60 Hz. No matter what I have tried (recompile nVidia driver, restart PC, editing xorg.conf manually, etc). nVidia dummy driver can run on any other resolution which monitor supports, as well as 10.0 and the same nVidia 8762 driver. There is a new kernel at: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/opensuse/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586 but kernel rpm and kernel-source DO NOT match: kernel-default-2.6.16.18-1.1.i586 kernel-source-2.6.16.18-20.1.i586 Anyone have an idea how to solve this?

I had a similar problem with the combination of 10.1 stock kernel and 8762 driver (see my post from a couple days ago). In my case 10.1 + 8762 was unable to come up with the 1600x1200 resolution for my monitor. Going back to the older driver, 8756, solved the problem for me. I also posted this problem on the nvidia linux forum where the nvidia people are currently taking a look at it.
nVidia dummy driver can run on any other resolution which monitor supports, as well as 10.0 and the same nVidia 8762 driver.
So, the problem could actually be in the 10.1 kernel rather than in the driver? Well, I suppose not impossible. HTH. Good luck, Alex. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Thanks in advance. Go to
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i5... If you use Zen Updater or Yast to install the source and default kernel, they should pick up all the dependencies. You of course will have to reinstall the nVidia driver. If you install the new xorg files that are available as well, you will have to reinstall the nVidia driver as well after that. Sometimes I have found it useful to run in a terminal window smart check smart fix It seems to catch one or two dependencies that Yast occasionally misses.

Hi, Thanks for suggestion, but I have all dependencies OK. There is no difference in result if you install nVidia driver manually or with YaST update, process of compilation and installation of kernel module is basically the same. On Jun 30, 2006, at 3:08, Ralph Ellis wrote:
