re: nvidia real slow
I had more or less the same problem and ended up installing 2.4.20 from Mantel and doing the following from the nvidia-installer-HOWTO as nothing would make the 2.4.19 upgrade kernel work with my geforce2. IV. United Linux 1.0 (UL1) SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (SLES8) SuSE Linux 7.3/8.0/8.1 with update kernel or self-compiled kernel --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Download the according 'NVIDIA_GLX' and 'NVIDIA_kernel' RPMs from nvidia ftp server and install these with the following commands: rpm --justdb -Uhv NVIDIA_kernel*.rpm rpm -Uhv NVIDIA_GLX*.rpm 2) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means installing the 'kernel-source' RPM with YaST2 and configure it then with the following commands: cp /boot/vmlinuz.config /usr/src/linux/.config cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig dep 3) Download nvidia installer and extract it with the following command NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --extract-only 4) Compile and install the nvidia kernel module with the following commands: cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363/usr/src/nv make install depmod -a 5) Enable 3D support with SaX2.

Ugh! :-( If that is so, I'll probably downgrade the kernel: it worked for me with the barrier none whatever in fstab. That's easier than what you propose O:-) -- or I could simply wait till a friend lends me his suse 8.2 when he buys it: I'm his local guru, so he will call me ;-) Who knows... well, first I'll correct some errors I have just detected, and see what happens.
3) Download nvidia installer and extract it with the following command NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --extract-only 4) Compile and install the nvidia kernel module with the following commands: cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363/usr/src/nv
Ah! that's the trick to get the sources... I could try that. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I said it would probably be easier for me to downgrade, but the I discovered that the patched kernel: kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-115 k_deflt-2.4.19-174 seems to work with APIC on my system; with the original one on the dvd (release 49 and 74, respectively) if I enabled APIC the USB would not work - not to mention that it needs dissabling the barrier code. So I'm thinking again about using Mr Mantel kernel, as you sugested... but that is not specific for suse 8.1, I think, and 35 mbytes on a modem is problematic at least. I'm unsure...
2) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means installing the 'kernel-source' RPM with YaST2 and configure it then with the following commands: cp /boot/vmlinuz.config /usr/src/linux/.config cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig dep
I think make cloneconfig makes the rest irrelevant. :-? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
