DVI-VGA converter with Suse/openSuse?
Hello, I have a DVI-VGA converter with my GeForce FX 5200 Video Card. When I try to boot up openSuse I get a kernel panic. I also get this kernel panic with any other linux distro. When I try to take out my GeForce card and use my Intel card everything works. And I also noticed my GeForce card is on the HCL. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it caused by the DVI-VGA converter? -- Matt K. Rajca
I've been running suse on all sorts of nvidia cards, from a riva tnt 2 to a 6600, with and without the converters, and I've never seen a kernel panic from any of them. Is is possible that it's a bad card? If it works fine elsewhere, there may be issues with your motherboard/BIOS - nvidia has a blacklist of known bad hardware, and maybe you just got lucky there.

Where can I get the blacklist?
I did check my motherboard and BIOS. They seem good enough.

It's not that the mobo/BIOS are kaput, it's the combination of certain mobo/BIOS with the nvidia linux drivers. The blacklist used to be in the nvidia readme, but I don't see it ATM - but if you follow this link the nvidia folks will help. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=11568a9e97c10eb581feabcbf1669fb9&t=46678 Joe

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it caused by the DVI-VGA converter? I also have a FX5200 with a DVI-VGA Converter on a Asus P4P800-Deluxe. It's working fine on SuSE 10.0, as it was with 9.3. Have you configured you board correctly? Try to boot with VGA=normal and see if it helps...
