Hello,

Everything I have read indicates at 5600 and higher Nvidia GPU's are supposedly supported by openSuSE in Xgl. I have an GeForce 7300 GT Nvidia board which is "not in the Xgl Database" and therefore doesn't work (using gnome-display-settings which gives me the error). I am able to get the board to work in 3D mode but I had to manually install the driver directly from Nvidia downloads using their procedure, not using YAST; the procedure (perfect setup) for YAST failed to install the driver. Neverball plays great.

Has anyone been able to use the 7300 GT Nvidia with Xgl?

Thanks,

Clint

Hi,

I don't have this GPU but I do own a Geforce 4 Ti4200 - 128 Mo -AGP 8X (older) which is not recognised by Xgl hardware database. Well, I think some of these cards are recognised because I believe it is listed in the supported hardware. Anyway, launching gnome-xgl-settings tells that it is not supported but might work and that 3D and Xgl are enable.

Xgl + compiz works great, although Beryl just give a white cube.

I had this till I added "--use-copy" to the Beryl command.

All NVidia cards beginning with GeForce2 series work fine with Xgl - in principle. I've heard of successful tests on a GeForce Ti2.

OpenGL acceleration may need a GeForce4 or FX5xxx. XVideo acceleration and some compiz effects (rain) need a GeForce 6xxx (may work with some FX5xxx, but that's messy).

We cannot test all cards, that's why only a few (tested) cards are in the card database. For NVidia there is none explicitly excluded. Just not supported.

I'm using a GeForce FX5200 on Opensuse 10.2 with the Downloaded Nvida driver thru YaST and it works fine. 3D also appears to work, Have not installed Googleearth since installing 10.2. -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
