I saw this also. all I had to do was reboot to init 3, then manually modprobe nvidia before X loads once you get nvidia loaded, you can do a depmod to make it happen automatically the next time B-) On Thursday 04 November 2004 03:31 pm, Mike Coan wrote:

Was running SuSE 9.1 Pro. Did a clean install of 9.2. Relevant hardware as follows:

Graphics card GeForce FX5200 CPU AMD Athlon 2500 Motherboard Asus A&V8X-X

Setup was working fine in 9.1

Tried to install nvidia driver via YAST. Didn't get any errors.

Configure using sax2 -m 0=nvidia. Configuration goes fine, no errors, but nvidia module doesn't load. Not sure what module it is loading as lsmod reveals neither nvidia or nv.

Install nvidia driver using second method. Init 3, log in as root

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1-run -q --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux

Process runs fine.

Do sax2 -m 0=nvidia and the process bombs. Tells me to look at /var/log/Sax.log

At the end of that file I see the following:

" (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" (II) UnloadModule: "vgahw" (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Tried using Google to find something on this, but was unsuccessful. I suppose I could go back to XFree, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

Mike Hi .

I have just had this and i found the only way to get the install to work CORRECTLY was to completely remove the stuff supplied by suse look for nvidia .o ther is one in /lib/modules/precompiled completely delete the precompiled dir it only contains the suse nvidia driver and the other one i cant remember the location of but if you have installed the findutils-locate package then run updatedb& the locate nvidia and get rid of any in the suse supplied tree all around /lib/modules area .. Hope this helps it drove me nuts sorting it out almost went back to 9.1 ..
