[SLE] Suse 7.0 with Geforce2 GTS nvidia 0.95
I have a Dell Precision 420 with duel P3 933 and 512megs of RDRAM, Hercules Prophet 2 Geforce2 GTS (64 meg card). Using Suse 7.0 hot off the presses, XF86 4.0.1 and the 0.9.5 nvidia driver. Have installed the nvidia kernel and GLX module, but when I startx I get 'Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Aborting...' This is under the standard uniprocessor kernel that comes with Suse 7. I tried compiling a new kernel for SMP, but then I get a nvidia kernel error stating that the nvidia driver is compiled for a uniprocessor system (doh!) Any advice here?

Hi did you try following the instructions at the http://www5.tomshardware.com/graphic/00q3/000811/linux_geforce-05.html ????
Ive tried quite a few combinations including the above The tomshardware article is a red herring because you will notice that he also says he couldnt get the geforce2 mx card to work. The geforce2mx is a cut down geforce2 designed as a mid price product and to be bundled in pre-configured systems. a pretty important card to support. esp as users will probably not be power users Methods of installing 6.4 loaded xfree86 4.01 from xfree86 and nividia from nvidia ( rpms and then sources ) quite a long process when dling via 56k modem. Neither worked. 7.0 loaded the suse xfree86 4.01 and nvidia packages from the suse server. didnt work either. XFree86 -configure and sax2 both cant see the card. Interestingly i turned off bios pnp support and 7.0 can see my network card, turn it on again and it disappears. This has no effect btw on the xfree problems. But its an oddity too. mobo asus cuv4x & Piii 700 128meg HErcules geforce2 mx Last option.load the xfree86 source * again * and then the nvidia source *again* and recompile both. but really this is a bit ridiculous the lengths I'm having to go to. dids -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Check the archives, this issue has come up plenty. I am sure people are just getting tired of responding over and over again. I own a GeForce 256, but I just helped a friend setup his GeForce2 with some help from someone on this list, he is happy and appreciative. The key difference between GeForce and GeForce2 is that XFree86-4.01 supports GeForce as is, but not GeForce2. So the goal is to install and load the NVidia drivers for the GeForce2 first. Once the drivers are installed and loaded then use sax2 to detect the card. Simple huh. - The kernel drivers I would suggest not using the RPMs. I have heard some complaints about them not working. Use the tar archives. I am assuming you have already tried this before, so just make sure it builds ok, and installs ok. Then verify it is loaded with a 'lsmod' and look for 'NVdriver' in the list. If it is not loaded then try 'modprobe NVdriver' and look for any error messages. - The GLX drivers Untar the archive. You want to move any conflicting libraries out of the way before you install the GLX stuff. Do a 'locate libGL.*', 'locate libGLcore.*', and 'locate libglx.*'. Now move anything that turns up out of the way. Now do a 'make install' in the GLX directory. - run sax2 Now when you run sax2 it should find your card. Configure it. Try startx. If it fails look at /var/log/Xfree86.0.log or the latest log, and look to see where it fails. Hope this helps. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
Rant mode : ON. I have to tell you, after purchasing Suse 7.0 I'm a little annoyed. I paid $69.99 for it, $39.99 for Suse 6.4, $29.99 for 6.3, 6.2 and 6.1. $34.99 for 6.0 That's $234.90 and change... and I still can't get a working X terminal. My Geforce wouldn't work, the Geforce 2 card won't work. It took 5 revisions of Suse Linux to get my sound card working properly. Part of the reason for this trouble is that I'm new to Linux and learning. Still, having learned enough to realize I wasn't entirely to blame, I contacted the Suse support team. They told me it's an nVidia problem who tells me it's an Suse problem. Meanwhile, I paid $250 for Microsoft Windows 2000, my sound card worked right away, the video card works flawlessly, and I can boot quickly into Quake 3 Arena. Alright, you're right ... I can hear the cries. Linux isn't the evil Borg that Microsoft is, making zombies of the masses. I know that. And I did pay $15.00 more for Microsoft Windows 2000. But one year later I still can't get Linux to boot into X/KDE and play Quake 3. Rant mode : OFF. I do love Linux, and yearn for the day I can just format my Windows 2000 partition. But I fear it won't be any time soon. -----Original Message----- From: dids [mailto:richard@diddyland.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2000 4:48 p.m. To: Suse-Linux-E Subject: RE: [SLE] Suse 7.0 with Geforce2 GTS nvidia 0.95 this combination of suse and geforce2 is just a huge nightmare, I find it quite upsetting that there is so little feedback on the subject.

this combination of suse and geforce2 is just a huge nightmare, I find it quite upsetting that there is so little feedback on the subject.
I got it to work quite well, using some information from the (German) support database and some toying with Sax2. Rough description: - Install SuSE 7.0 (don't forget to install nv_glx!), get 640x480 graphics. - Install patches (nv_glx and nvdriver). - Go to a textbased console. - Type "switch2xf86-4" (SuSE 7.0 is installed with X 3.3.6 by default!) - Start Sax2. Use "sax2 -m nvidia" or "sax2 -m nv" or "sax2 -m vga" to get it to run. - Remove the card that it displays, and add another. Configure the chipset to be an "nvidia" (NOT "nv"). - Set all other settings as appropriate. This should give enough hints to get it to work. If not, mail your exact problem and logfiles. end -- Jurjen Oskam * carnivore! * http://www.stupendous.org/ for PGP key assassinate nuclear iraq clinton kill bomb USA eta ira cia fbi nsa kill president wall street ruin economy disrupt phonenetwork atomic bomb sarin nerve gas bin laden military -*- DVD Decryption at www.stupendous.org -*- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

I regret having to say this, but the kernel updates are all not necessary and your description lacks all the interesting details.

Moin Ralf! i did not say a kernel update was necessary, i only indicated what the procedure was that i used to make it work. as always, ymmv ... this process worked for me. if it works for you fine, if not, try something else. -- michael Ralf Corsepius schrieb am Donnerstag, den 28. September 2000:

I regret having to say this, but the kernel updates are all not necessary and your description lacks all the interesting details.
Actually, I doubt the procedure you describe can work, because the required support for GeForce2 is missing from *all* XFree-4.0.1 versions released until now (It is in XFree-CVS).
AKAIU, the key to get GeForce2-based cards working seems to be to update libscanpci and libpcidata from post-4.0.1 XFree version.
[I've got a GeForce2 GTS running w/ NVidia's driver 0.9.5 under SuSE's 7.0/2.2.16-SMP, SuSE's XFree-4.0.1-5 rpms + libscanpci and libpcidata from XFree CVS sources.]

would it be possible to also attach/post your config file. Yours are the only instructions i have left to try. Theres been so many 'solutions' that didnt work. I'd forgotten I had followed this through.

'Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Aborting...'
This is under the standard uniprocessor kernel that comes with Suse 7.
I tried compiling a new kernel for SMP, but then I get a nvidia kernel error stating that the nvidia driver is compiled for a uniprocessor system (doh!)
Any advice here? I am unable to use X at all unless I use the framebuffer device (ugh!)

So did I, ... same result.

Yep, SuSE's RPM is screwed up. Recompile the driver from source with a running SMP-Kernel. Ralf -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
