Edit the interfaces.c file and comment out the 'INTEL_I840' and `VIA_MVP4' lines, and then it should work OK. I had to do this when I first installed the 0.95 drivers . I am using the 0.95 drivers w/ Xfree86 4.01 on an old RIVA TNT card and it works fine. Just keep pluggin' away! :)

Well I thought That would be it. The kernel mod now loads ok. I used the same method for loading as I did for the 0.93 mod. I put a "modprobe NVdriver" in /sbin/init.d/boot.local. It appears to load ok.
lsmod shows agpgart and NVdriver
I installed the GLX stuff and reestablished my original /etc/X11/XF86config file. When I startx my machine freezes and I have to hit the reset switch.
Before I began I removed ALL of the 0.93 install so that ain't it. Do you really need the .95 for xf4.0.1? You must cause I even went back and tried the .93 with x4.0.1 and get the same.
Well 0.95 is only for xf4.0.1, whereas prior releases had seperate releases for both xf4.0 and xf4.0.1.
Like a bonehead I tried the xf4.0.1 version of nvidias drivers before SuSE had released xf4.0.1 (just to experiment), and it locked my computer too. I would just move to 0.95 since you already have installed xf4.0.1.
Are you configuring using sax2?
No. I'm not reconfiguring at all really. I'm using my original x4.0 XF86config. First, to upgrade I just changed back the nvidia to nv and commented out the load glx. Then after all was set up for X4.0.1 and nvidia 0.95 I just changed back the nv to nvidia and uncommented the load glx. Then after making sure NVdriver was loaded just startx. HANG..... Is there something else that needs to go into XF86config other than the above. Ever hear of an "Option NvAgp 1" option to the XF86config file?
I'll try a complete reconfig via SaX2?? I'll have to wait a a while. My wife needs the box........
No-Go.. It's the NVdriver kernel mod that's killing me. Not even loading the GLX stuff. If I replace nv with nvidia it hangs. The NVdriver looks like it loads ok???? Also it looks like I never installed 0.93. I'm actually upgrading from 0.9 to 0.95. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
