nVidia GeForce 5200Fx 128Mb RAM - Cannot load 3D driver under SuSE Standard Server 8 - Can anyone help?
Hi list, I am running SuSE Standard Server 8 on a Compaq Evo D300v with a Pentium 4. My installation is pretty standard and everything works very well out of the box. My resolution is fine and SuSE detects that I have the nVidia GeForce 5200Fx card with 128Mb RAM card - however it tells me that the 3D capabilities are disabled. I downloaded the driver installation binaries: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run from nVidia's website as advised after looking around. This driver is said to be 'universal' a.k.a. one driver works for all. But the install does not seem to work. I follow the steps but I still do not have 3D capabilities (my exisiting drivers seem exactly the same and the system still tells me that I do not have 3D capabilities enabled). Can anyone offer advice if they have worked through this problem already. Thanks in advance, Jonathan Hughes Tech Support Specialist MCP / MCSD Goodyear South Africa
Hi Jonathan I propose to consult our nvidia HOWTO first. http://www.suse.de/en/private/download/x11/ http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html see section III. for SuSE Linux 8.1 / United Linux 1.0 (UL1) / SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (SLES8) Stefan On Wed, Jun 23, 2004 at 01:43:59PM +0200, jonathan_hughes@goodyear.co.za wrote:

List, this is a bit off topic for this list - I need to get a remote X desktop from a WindowsCE client running on WYSE 3350SE NC's. Does anyone know of any software or replacement firmware for the NC that may be avaliable? I was hoping some free Linux software may be avaliable - there is talk on the Web but I cant find anything after an hours searching...
