https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=393404 Summary: Cannot properly install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08 beta driver in oS 11 Beta 3 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sanfordarmstrong@gmail.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: --- As per the instructions on opensuse.org/NVIDIA, I did the following: 1. Download latest beta driver for x86. 2. Drop to runlevel 3. 3. sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1 -q 4. sax2 -r (I also tried with the addition of "-m 0=nvidia" or whatever it is) Expected results: Blissful accelerated heaven. Actual results: (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration (==) NVIDIA(0): Video key set to default value of 0x101fe (II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is (II) NVIDIA(0): enabled. NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Input/output error). NVIDIA: IRQ 10, assigned to device PCI:01:00.0, is edge-triggered! (EE) NVIDIA(0): The interrupt for NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0 appears to (EE) NVIDIA(0): be edge-triggered. Please see Chapter 8: Common Problems (EE) NVIDIA(0): in the README for additional information. (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" (II) UnloadModule: "wfb" (II) UnloadModule: "fb" (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Interestingly, if I run nvidia-xconfig instead of sax2 immediately after installing the drivers, I am able to run X (and even restart X) with the NVidia drivers *until* I reboot, at which point the xserver spits out the same error as above. It is a painful and repetitive process to reconfigure X back and forth between nvidia and nv for me, but if you need more information let me know and I will do my best to get it to you ASAP. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
