Try to download the drivers directly from www.nvidia.com They are ready for the latest versions of suse in rpm format... and they work great -------------------------------------------------------- Juan Francisco Torres Ch. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jorge de la Vega" To: Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 3:24 PM Subject: RE: [SLE] Installing SuSE 8.0 via FTP

I believe you have to install the nvidia drivers with YOU, because the

ones

that come with the ftp or boxed distribution are just dummy drivers.

Run 3Ddiag and read the output.

Well, finally I managed to install SuSE-8.0.

However, the X server setup issue is still unsolved. I can use the framebuffer server and log in. But the system hangs as soon as I start sax2 for configuration. I havve an nVidia GeForce3 graphic card. (I installed the nVidia kernel and modules with YOU). Does anyone know how I can solve that problem?

Thanks,

Hi, I have a riva tnt running on a SuSe 8. I installed all drivers from nvidia. All is working, but I find that at 2D aplication, like a midnight commander console, the refresh is to slow. Another side, at X startup, take too long until the envidia logo, it seems that the driver try to find out the best video mode (moitor flashes and XFree log messages), but I only have one mode defined on the XF86Config file. Is there some configuratión that I missing? Carlos On Wed 10 Jul 2002 16:56, Diffuze wrote:

I have a Geforc3 card and it works like a charm in SuSE 7.3. You need to install NVIDIAS *OWN* rpms for the Geforce card. NOT the rpms shipped with SusE. Get them at http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux Note that you need both NVIDIA_GLX *and* NVIDIA_kernel. They are both available from the above download link. There are SuSE 8.0 rpms for both files.

Install the rpms and try to run sax2 again. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Hope this helps.
