[opensuse] NVIDIA logo in 10.3
Hello: In openSUSE 10.3 with the openSUSE NVIDIA package installed the NVIDIA logo does not show up before the kde logion screen is shown. Is this the normal default behavior? How can I make the logo visible? Thanks, IG Kisorsolunk 10 LAPTOP-ot!

Wow. Things must be going _really_ well on your system if you're down to trying to get the NVIDIA logo to display! Anyway, on my 10.3 box (with a lowly 7300 card from PNY installed), I do indeed see the NVIDIA logo screen every time X starts (_not_ exactly the same as when KDE starts, unless you count kdm as KDE). This includes not only upon each system start-up but also after each logout (when then X server gets restarted and hence the nvidia device driver gets closed and reopened). As to whether it's the default (meaning that it can be changed at all), I don't know, but I ran /usr/bin//nvidia-settings and cannot find an option there to control this behavior.
Thanks, IG

Or you can just add: Option "NoLogo" Under your device section of your xorg.conf You can do: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep NoLogo and if it comes back with nothing then you should be getting the Logo if installed correctly.

That's good to know, but let's nip in the bud this "cat piped to fill-in-the-blanks" business. It is the rare Unix command that only reads standard input (they exist, but they're uncommon). This is the idiomatic (and easier to type and of lower overhead) way to accomplish what you're suggesting: % grep NoLogo /etc/X11/xorg.conf

LOL, Thanks Randall.. I know the method you provided is less overhead but sometimes to me the piping helps me visually see the difference in commands.. I know I know horrible practice but I am not a Bash scripter etc. Maybe I should start getting used to the suggested methods as you provided.. Doh!..

Well, that's fine, but the point is that only one real command is essential to accomplish the task you were describing. Arbitrarily and unnecessarily complicating the command you use to achieve any given end doesn't really help, does it?
I know horrible practice but I am not a Bash scripter etc.
I live and breath BASH scripting, though I continue to rely on the documentation for many of the less common capabilities. The syntax is pretty funky and overly baroque, if you ask me, but for a lot of things, it gets the job done and is as universal as anything in the Unix / Linux world. By the way, another equivalent to your command and my replacement for it is this: % grep NoLogo

Most of the time, my X starts "NoLogo", but at the same time, I do *not* have this command in my xorg.conf. Anyway, what counts for me is that my X apparently works accelerated. eroloff@grey:~> rpm -qa |grep nvidia x11-video-nvidiaG01-100.14.19-4 nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default-100.14.19_2.6.22.5_30-1.1 And now back to things that are more important, at least for me...

By default, the logo is shown. Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if you have the following line, and remove it if so: Option "NoLogo" "yes" (could also be 1 or true) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's not that it is so important but it is strange that it does not show. If something changes without my intervention I like to know what the reason is.
I do indeed see the NVIDIA logo screen every time X starts (_not_ exactly the same as when KDE starts, unless you count kdm as KDE). This includes not only upon each system start-up but also after each logout (when then X server gets restarted and hence the nvidia device driver gets closed and reopened).
It used to work for me like this in previous SUSE (10.2 10.1 10.0) versions. But in those systems I used NVIDIA's sh script to build the driver.
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep NoLogo
and if it comes back with nothing then you should be getting the Logo if installed correctly.
