Thanks, I was able to get the driver to install using this method. I have another issue though. The Geometry changes when using SaX2 and selecting the nvidia driver. Geometry changes to 1400X1050 when I "Test" and I can't get it to go to 1600X1200. On my laptop this resolution looks lousy. And, I've checked XF86Config and don't find the place where resolution is set. Being that everything else works, could I save with the higher Geometry setting and not testing? Or where would I find the Geometry setting to manually change it? Thanks.

Try making you preferred changes in YaST rather than SaX2. SaX2 pretty much sucks, I have always set-up the new driver there to a resolution I could use, then got into YaST and fine-tuned it. I think that YaST uses SaX2, but it always works the way I want it to when I use YaST. I'm a newbie at this so everything I just said might just be a big pile of shit. Sorry, hope this helps.

Hi Gerrit, I did that first a week ago.... it didn't work with either the 4496 or 4363 packages and rpms The best i had (nvidia logo) was WITHOUT using the rpms !!!! When I follow the Howto, the screen just turn black and the system hang. The nvidia drivers worked fine before the kernel get patached by YOU. My system is a P IV 2.8 Ghz with Xfree 4.2 (original SuSE 8.1), Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 (ID: 0x181) from Asustek, Motherboard : P4 Titan (GA-8SIMLH) with a SIS 651 chipset and a Nec 17'' TFT monitor (Nec LCD1701). Any other ideas ?

Th first time I tried nvidia driver i couldn't even get that ;)
Any other ideas ?
When I was too desperate to try anything else and almost resigned to use the nv driver, I read the README (duh!) and found the following option Option "NvAgp" "0" After that I can use the new driver without any problem (except, of course, I have no AGP :-( Hope it helps.

Did you use : export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run It seems that because the compiler used in SuSE 8.2 and used by nvidia are different you cannot compile it without doing 'IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes'. Try this and see if you can compile the module correctly. On SuSE 8.1 i don't have any problem to compile and load the module but it just don't work and the system hang when X starts...

Had the same problem with SuSE Linux Office Desktop, which is based on SuSE Linux 8.1. Had to install the stock SuSE Linux 2.4.19 kernel and installed the Nvidia SuSE 8.1 rpms. And it worked like a charm... Didn't work for me with the 2.4.19-339 kernel. Stefan.
