Hi there,
My Thinkpad T61 Laptop comes with the following nVidia GPU:
lenz@thebe:~> lspci | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1)
According to the README and the online docs, this chip is not a "legacy GPU" yet and it should be supported by the latest driver (180.29)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html (supported GPUs for the 180.29 driver) http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html (legacy GPUs)
However, the following driver is currently installed:
lenz@thebe:~> rpm -qa | grep nvidia nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-pae-173.14.16_2.6.25.20_0.1-2.1 x11-video-nvidiaG01-173.14.16-2.1
According to http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html this is a "legacy GPU" driver. I tried to install the 180.29 driver instead (nvidia-gfxG02), but that one fails to load:

Mar 17 11:00:13 thebe kernel: NVRM: This can occur when a driver such as rivafb, nvidiafb or Mar 17 11:00:13 thebe kernel: NVRM: rivatv was loaded and obtained ownership of the NVIDIA Mar 17 11:00:13 thebe kernel: NVRM: device(s).

Might it be, that the old version of the nvidia kernel module is still inserted when you try to load the new version ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+help@opensuse.org
