You don't need anything special. The nVidia installer is "smart" enough to create the basic xorg.conf needed (via nvidia-xconfig) so the nVidia driver is used. Why would you need any other conf file at this point? Or have I missed something?

Yes NV's file is start if you have the correct naming for the kernel. And at the end of it's .run script it tries to put "Driver nvidia" in the xorg.conf file. If it is not there it fails to add it. If xorg is so smart then modprobe is not smart enough to figure out that need to be installed first. /usr/sbin/hwinfo -gfxcard results Driver Info #0: Driver Status: nvidiafb is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nvidiafb" Driver Info #1: Driver Status: nouveau is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nouveau" Driver Info #2: Driver Status: nvidia is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nvidia" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #26 (PCI bridge) -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
