hi, I have been trying to get Suse 9.0 to work with nvidia (5950Ultra) card for the past 3 days without any success, I seek your help. First of all, my hardwares: Asus S8V with 1gig of ram (512x2) AMD Athlon-64 3400+ Asus nvidia 5950Ultra, 256MB WD120gb LiteOn DVD/CDRW Combo The basic Suse 9.0 installed without any problem (though with some minor stability problem). The onboard ethernet (3com 940) is recognized with the standard kernel as sk98lin, which works just fine. I proceeded with installation of Suse 9.0 with "nv" driver, which works as well. I then performed YOU to update everything, including kernel 2.4.21-203. I then performed the following before I installed the nvidia driver: cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig && make dep When Installation the nvidia driver ( NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5332-pkg0.run), the kernel-modules compiled just fine. In fact, the installation process went finished without any error message. However, when I tried to use SaX2 to configuration my X using the following command: sax2 -m 0=nvidia I get a black screen. X locked up completely and I lose the keyboard. I had to remotely login and reboot the machine instead. After some search (google is your friend) I found that problem is NOT isolated. It had something to do with how AGP is handled with kernel 2.4. So far, I have successfully got nvidia's driver to work by disabling AGP: by adding the following line in my /etc/X11/XF86Config: Option "NvAGP" "0" # or 1, doesn't matter By doing this, when X starts I get the nvidia's splash screen. Running glxgear I'll get something like 500FPS, which is pathetic (in comparison, my Athlon XP 2400+ with Ti4200 gets 6500FPS), but still better than then 150FPS of the "nv" driver. Setting NvAGP to 2 will results in locking up X. My question is, is there anyway to get AGP/nvidia to work with kernel 2.4? My (limited) understanding is that one has to use amd64_agp instead of AGPGART for nvidia's driver to work, but amd64_agp is a feature that is only available in kernel 2.6. I have tried to compile kernel 2.6.4 (standard from kernel.org) but ran into the (another) famous problem of "unable to mount VFS" problem, which trashed the partition and hence the existing 2.4 (Suse 9.0) installation. Any help is very much appreciated, Elvis _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee® Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines
