Yes, I do have a VIA chipset on my motherboard. I hope that is not the problem. Did you change yours AGP settings from 4x to 1x in your bios? Thanks, Darwin On Fri, 22 Aug 2003 18:52:57 +0530, Rohit wrote:
I was wondering if anybody can help me. I suse 8.2.
I
bought a brand new GEFORCE4 MMX440 128 DDR video card. In the online update I downloaded the nvidia driver from suse. I went to sax2 and try to enable the 3d acceralation. I did it but when I tested it, my computer locked up and the screen went black.
A via chipset motherboard by any chance? Mine gave me problems with 2x and 4x AGP speeds. 1x is stable. But a bit slow of course..

I did this. Ran the installer with --extract switch. [It may be --extract-only, I forget] but you can always say no if it enters interactive mode. This created some directories in the PWD. I looked for the file os-registry.c and did the following changes. 1. One variable enables via 4x, that was to be set to 0. 2. Another variable governs the test that driver does, on loading, for AGP bus speed. The values can be 1,3,7, so I needed to change it to 1. The AGP on mobo is not good with higher than 1x, so I had to change the runtime performance as well as testing value to 1x. 3. At the end of this file, there is a structure which contains all these values. Corresponding bitmasks are set to 0. To make your values be counted, they need to be set to one. Which is what I did. 4. in the same PWD, did a "make" which installs the driver. 5. After this, call sax2 to enable 3D. Or take someone else's XF86Config file. All sax2 does here is create your configfile. Was this all too tough? Write to me offline.
