Hi all, I just installed SuSE 9.2 pro and I got two problems with the Nvidia-6629 driver. 1° - Since the agpgart module is loaded at boot, I use to compile my kernel without agp support and I set nvagp=1 in XF86Config. It works fine with SuSE 9.1 but with SuSE 9.2 I get a black screen while starting the X server. I need to have agp support if I want the X server to start. It's a problem since glxgears is 50% faster with the nvidia agp support. 2° - I'm unable to get twinview working with CRT and TV, each one can work alone but not together !! It works OK with SuSE 9.1 Can these problems be due to the use of Xorg instead of Xfree86 ? If yes, is it possible to install Xfree86 ( the 9.1 rpm) instead of Xorg ? Thanks for your help. Michel.
were you using 6629 with 9.1? I have seen several problems with the latest from nvidia (629). In fact, I'm back on 611. B-) On Wednesday 26 January 2005 11:53 am, Catimimi wrote:

Yes, I've come across it before although a long long time ago :-) ... try updating, via apt if necessary. I'm using dual setup now, with 9.2 and Xorg.
