I regret having to say this, but the kernel updates are all not necessary and your description lacks all the interesting details. Actually, I doubt the procedure you describe can work, because the required support for GeForce2 is missing from *all* XFree-4.0.1 versions released until now (It is in XFree-CVS). AKAIU, the key to get GeForce2-based cards working seems to be to update libscanpci and libpcidata from post-4.0.1 XFree version. [I've got a GeForce2 GTS running w/ NVidia's driver 0.9.5 under SuSE's 7.0/2.2.16-SMP, SuSE's XFree-4.0.1-5 rpms + libscanpci and libpcidata from XFree CVS sources.] Ralf -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
