[opensuse] SAX2 problem.
I decided to upgrade a video card in a "beast" today.....an HP Athalon 65-bit dual core box with 1G RAM, SATA, etc. The nVidia 9450 chipset is on the MOB. I dropped a PNY GeForce 8500GT PCI-E 16X in it. I'd already d'ld the install script from nVidia, so was ready to compile a module. The compile went like clockwork, but sax2 can't "see" the card properly, thus software like Compiz can't be setup. Apparently, sax2 isn't intelligent enough to recognize the card and work with an installed module. Thanks to nVidia, the card runs like a "rapped ape" and with 3D support.

Did you try "sax2 -m 0=nvidia" or "switch2nvidia" ? _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What version of the driver are you using? Old drivers have a bug regarding newer XOrg releases - they recognize xorg as xfree and install the driver's files into wrong directories. What version of opensuse do have? Kind regards, Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
