I have Dell I8100 with NVIDIA Geforce2 Go which I have been trying to get going reliably for 4 months now. I am running Suse 7.3 which I upgraded to 2.4.17 kernel and then upgraded to XFree86 4.2. Other problems seem to be fixed, but have a new one. When I try to use the gui login, it still loads the opensource glx where it should load the NVIDIA GLX, and the keyboard does not work. If I login mode 3 command line, login, then startx, is loads NV-GLX. I have done the switch2nvidia_glx which runs, then log in, it seems to be OK, but is still running NV_GLX according to XFree86.0.log. When I reboot, I have to run the switch2nvidia_glx again to get things to work. Two Questions. 1. Should this not be NVIDIA_GLX instead of NV_GLX? (I am using 1.0.2313 Nvidia drivers) 2. How can I get the proper GLX to load when I use gui login? Art

I have an NVidia and here is my /etc/X11/XF86Config file: Section "Device" BoardName "AutoDetected" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "NvAGP" "1" Option "dpms" VendorName "AutoDetected" EndSection NvAGP 1 makes the device use the special Nvidia AGP module and driver is nvidia Try this too:

Thanks for the help, got a little closer. Only problem now is that when I try to login with gui login, the keyboard does not work, that is, when I type, I get no characters for login name. If I login with mode 3, the startx, everything is fine. One difference, when I login mode 3, I get X Font Server Error that fonts.scale file is bad format. and filed to create directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype. This directory is there. According to XFree86.0.log after trying the gui login, the last line is XINPUT: Adding extended input device "NVIDIA Kernel Input Handler: (type: Other). This is also the same with command login and startx. Don't know if this has any thing to do with it though. This is without the switch2nvidia_glx in the rc.config file. If I put it in, then I can login but everything is sloooow. Fps with gears goes to 1/2 of the startx mode, from 1500 to 700. Used the .src.rpm with --rebuild for the 2.4.17 kernel instead of the suse rpms. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Johnson [mailto:matthew@psychohorse.com] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 6:05 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] NVIDIA Problems On Sun, 2002-02-03 at 05:56, Art Fore wrote:

Had this issue once in the 16 release, but then used the tarball to do my agp x4 stuff and then had to remove the switch2 from rc.config.
I had issues with 2.4.17 w/ my nVidia card..not sure if this is a Hubert's test kernel thing or a .17 thing. I went back to 2.4.16 and all is good. :)

For glx to run: Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "type1" Load "speedo" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "v4l" EndSection As you've upgraded to 2.4.17 you might need the src.rpm's from Nvidia website. Matt
