Good day, Having major problems getting this one to work. I follow the instructions but can never get the NVidia driver to load (it shows up on lsmod). The last time I tried I got a strange modprobe query. I loaded the NVidia driver via insmod, then tried modprobe, still came up saying that the module was not loaded, tried modprobe again and it seemed to load it again! Lsmod showed the module was loaded, but moprobe did not complain to say it was loaded already. /etc/modules.conf has the NVidia line installed... Anyone got any ideas? this is frustrating...I am using the sources of the SuSE ftp site. With many thanks, Matthew
If you have a GeForce-2 card you'll need to go to the nVidia site. Look for "linux drivers" in small type at the top of their driver download screen. The version 0.9-6 has been out only since Jan 4. It is the first one I've been able to compile for the GeForce-2. It is reported to work with all the other nVidia cards too. I did get the SuSE patched nVidia driver to work with the GeForce-2 card under kernel 2.2.16, SuSE 6.3 but it won't work under kernel 2.4.0. This new nVidia card has been quite a trip. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when got it. But I sure have learned a lot. Have fun! KurtRR On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, matthew wrote:
