Redux: Stop X (for most people: rcxdm stop) Unload kernel driver (modprobe -r nvidia) install the update (nvidia-installer --update) Start X (for most people: rcxdm start) Sorted The new driver seems like a big improvement over the previous one, glxgears seems a lot faster (I don't remember it's old FPS, but the new one looks higher) and X's memory usage seems A LOT better. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Hey Basil, that's great ! I know how much trouble you had with the 4496 (just as me). But, ........ I'm wondering if I can go to this version too. I'm using a GeForce4 488Go card, which is NOT listed in the APPENDIX A: SUPPORTED NVIDIA GRAPHICS CHIPS of the 5328 readme anymore (it was in the 4496 and 4363 readme's) Since my disastrous experiences with the 4496, I'm a bit shy to 'dive' into this new release without some realistic indication that it should work for me. Any idea how serious the "supported chips' list must be taken ? TIA and HAND, -- Jan Elders the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms"

"Any ideas?", you ask. YES. The list is not worth a pinch of horse manure as far as I am concerned. The list contains all the cards I have but the driver will not work with 2 of them (I did try and install the driver on the 3rd computer with a MMX400 card -- see my earlier message). I had to re-install 4363 on the other computers so I suggest you stick with it. But, of course, why not try the new one- you might be lucky and get it to work. Only takes less than 10 minutes to install/uninstall the new driver. Cheers. -- Wagner's music is really not as bad as it sounds.

Well, there you are! Well done. Glad it's working with the 488Go card. This gives hope to others to at least try the new driver - there is nothing to lose. Cheers. -- Indecision is the key to flexibility.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My experience here was a little different: the new drivers take glxgears from 757 FPS to, get this: ** 6 FPS **. So, I'm back to using the 4496 version of the drivers. Here's more details: Current config: geforce 2 mx400 1600x1200x24 SuSE 9 stock kernel source installed starting from init 3: # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run -n (-n means not to use a precompiled interface -- I tried both with -n and without: same results) Seems to install fine. The sax2 -m 0=nvidia step from the SuSE howto doesn't seem to do anything interesting (since my XF86config already points to the nvidia module), but I did it anyway. # init 5 It starts fine, with the nvidia splash screen and all. But 3D performance disappears. Please do not tell me I have to switch back to 16bpp, that's not an option, and it works with 4496 anyway. Suggestions?

Nope. Get out own AMD64 + motherboard :-) . The first thing I did before asking the Q above is check out the nVidia site and, as I said, there is no mention of #4620 at all for any of the CPU/OS versions. So, the Q stands: what is the #4620 all about?

Stay away from coffee. It can do very strange things to you when consumed in large quantities. I ended up with coffee poisoning, according to my doctor, some years. Couldn't walk without hanging on the walls and generally had much trouble in walking. Doc asked me how much coffee I drank and I told. Stopped drinking coffee and got back to normal. Haven't touched coffee since - only have a cup when we have guests for dinner. Otherwise I only drink green jasmine tea. Cheers. -- Indecision is the key to flexibility.

It's not there now, though I've just downloaded it from http://public.pny.com/quadro/FX3000g/Linux/, it seems to have been a beta driver for IA32 they put out in August, they must have yanked it before announcing it, there was also a 4499 for AMD64 I think that's no longer up on the nvidia.com archive. I pulled down the README for 4499 on 15th. November. Ah well, I'll just have to tap others to see if I can get the AMD64 package for free, and I have my coffee so weak, it takes me a week to consume 5 heaped teaspoons of the instant stuff.

Please do not tell me I have to switch back to 16bpp, that's not an option, and it works with 4496 anyway.

Yep, same option I had on my ti 4200 card ... go back to 4496. Unfortunately, I lose my console on that one but AGP works.

I had to use the sax2 -m 0=nvidia command for the setup to work correctly. Some may not have to. Also, there probably will be an error message on 3D, telling you it's not available.

"SNAFU", as the Actress said to the Bishop. Those lovely people at nVidia are nothing but consistent. I have to take most of my above comment back. The new driver only works with my purchased-only-last-week Geforce FX5200 card but will not co-operate with the Geforce4 MMX440 card on the other computer. With the MX440 I get the same results as with the 4496 driver, namely garbage when using CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6, and garbage when shutting down. I have a MMX400 on the 3rd computer but I won't even bother to try and install it there as it would be just a waste of my time. Cheers. -- Wagner's music is really not as bad as it sounds.
