[opensuse] Opensuse 10.3: No 3D support, Nvidia drivers not correctly loaded
I have been unable to identify and load the correct Nvidia drivers - hence no 3D support. I have tried several different drivers and have also tried the following 'hint' obtained from sax2 "3D Hardware acceleration is not used. To use 3D Hardware acceleration please specify the entry Driver "nvidia" in the Section "Device" of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf." This change made no difference. Environment: OpenSuse 10.3, X86_64. YAST2 is configured to install/update the drivers from ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3. I have tried every available driver for the X86_64 environment. With Opensuse 10.2 the Nvidia drivers loaded correctly, however, this has been a new problem ever since I upgraded to 10.3. Any pointers would be appreciated.

It might be easy, but what do I do with the ".ymp" file?

That's where the "one click" comes in, just click on the link. Ken -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Duh! Yes! And IF this fictitious "So Called - ONE CLICK" technology worked reliably, I would not be here asking for the application association for a ".ymp" file type.

Thanks Andreas, that was my problem. It seems that "one click" file associations work with Opera & Konq, but not Firefox. This should not really be any kind of surprise to me, because FF has been nothing but a PITA on every 10.3 install I have done.

That is unfortunate - it worked fine first time for me on a clean 10.3 install on my laptop. I don't think I've ever fired up either Opera or Konqueror (as a web browser anyway). Were these upgrades or (completely) clean installs where FF has given problems? -- Rodney Baker <rodney.baker@optusnet.com.au> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I think so. That could happen if /home wasn't formatted when installing/upgrading to 10.3. I'd try creating a new user ID from scratch and then running it under Firefox and see if that works. If so, then copy the required data from the old /home/<user> to the new user ID (which will now have fresh config files). -- =============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@optusnet.com.au =============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I tried this just now wanting to re-install the drivers after upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3. The whole thing went well with no complaints, I even did a restart after the install to make sure it loaded the new driver / etc. When I start yast / sax2 it says 3D not enabled - Card NOT Supported. I know it is, and I did the install when I was running 10.2 and all was well, what did I do wrong? Dell C521 / Nvidia GeForce 6150LE / OpenSuse 10.3.
