[opensuse] opensuse 11.2 and Nvidia
Hi, 1° - I installed opensuse 11.2 with the Nvidia driver downloaded from Nvidia, everything works OK. 2° - I cloned the kernel, then compiled it, this kernel boots OK. 3° - I installed the NVidia driver on this cloned kernel, X doesn't start !! Did someone meet the same experience ? and what can be done ? Thanks for reply. Regards.

You need to compile the nVidia driver for the cloned kernel, and to do this you need <cloned-kernel-type>-source and <cloned-kernel-type>-devel installed before you compile the driver.

I thought we had a repo for that in 11.2? The whole compile the NVidia driver is fine for a single user system, but for a multi-user system it's too much of a hassle from my experience. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Maybe so - but I don't use the repo: I always compile my own driver - but with the variety of kernels now available in oS, is the correct driver installed to suit the version of kernel which is installed?

I'm trying to get away from compiling that driver, or any driver for that matter, lately the tip has been more support than use of Linux, and that is what I hated about Win.

So, the basic tenet is: when you compile your own kernel you also need to compile the nvidia driver ( the *.run from nVidia) to fit the newly compiled kernel.

You need to compile the nVidia driver for the cloned kernel, and to do this you need <cloned-kernel-type>-source and <cloned-kernel-type>-devel installed before you compile the driver.
Compile the driver, yes. The rest, no, as the right files are there after the kernel was compiled.
Hi, Thanks for your replies and suggestions. There should be a bug in 11.2. I use the same driver, with the same xorg.conf with 11.1 and it works fine with the native kernel or with a compiled kernel. I give up and wait for a fix or for new ideas. Thanks again.

No bugs as far as I am aware. I always compile my own driver (190-42) and did so only the other day. But "xorg.conf".....11.2 does not have an xorg.conf UNLESS you generate it yourself using sax2 (as root) or allow the compiled nVidia driver to use sax2 to set the parameters. If you create your own xorg.conf it will be used to OVERRIDE any parameters set (?by HAL) at boot-time of oS.

Catimimi, I had a similar issue. I installed 11.2 on a dell XPS 1330. After a successful install, I used the nvidia one click install (http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA) since it worked ok for me on an ealier version (11.1). If I boot the computer on the same 11.2 boot option I used before X does not start, but for some reason I had a different 11.2 boot option available at this point. On the other option X starts fine. This is where it gets strange. The boot went on fine, but the moment the NVIDIA logo shows the fan goes crazy, and this stops after a few minutes and everything works great. I unstalled the nvidia drivers with YAST and did not have the fan problem again. Installed NVIDIA with the 1 click option again and saw the Fan issue once more. I will do the nvidia installation "the hard way". Maybe I get a different result. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.

I had a similar issue.
I installed 11.2 on a dell XPS 1330.
After a successful install, I used the nvidia one click install (http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA) since it worked ok for me on an ealier version (11.1).
If I boot the computer on the same 11.2 boot option I used before X does not start, but for some reason I had a different 11.2 boot option available at this point. On the other option X starts fine. This is where it gets strange. The boot went on fine, but the moment the NVIDIA logo shows the fan goes crazy, and this stops after a few minutes and everything works great. I unstalled the nvidia drivers with YAST and did not have the fan problem again. Installed NVIDIA with the 1 click option again and saw the Fan issue once more.
I will do the nvidia installation "the hard way". Maybe I get a different result.
If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.
Thanks,
Rodrigo

Hi,
1° - I installed opensuse 11.2 with the Nvidia driver downloaded from Nvidia, everything works OK.
2° - I cloned the kernel, then compiled it, this kernel boots OK.
3° - I installed the NVidia driver on this cloned kernel, X doesn't start !!
Did someone meet the same experience ? and what can be done ?
Thanks for reply. Regards. Michel.

Hi, I finally found a workaround which solves my problem. I decided to give a try to the one click Driver Install. So : - I uninstalled the Driver downloaded from Nvidia. - I installed the openSUSE packages, as expected this driver did not work with my custom kernel ! - Without uninstalling the openSUSE packages, I reinstalled the Nvidia driver, and it compiled and runs OK One problem remains to be solved by Nvidia : the 190.42 driver has a bug, Twinview doesn't work, if enabled, the system freezes at boot. The problem is known on the Nvidia Forum (www.nvnews.net). Thanks to those who tried to help me in this thread.

Hi, For all Nvidia users, the new kernel doesn't accept old xorg.conf files. I'd to rebuild it completely with nvidia-settings and the new driver works fine with the driver downloaded from Nvidia, evev with a modified kernel. Regards.
