For 7.2:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.1.0-Su SE .old/suse72/
For 7.3 I would just reinstall the defaults from the CD's...they work. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE
Ben, Anders or anyone. I now have a major problem. I just upgraded to 2.4.7, unfortunately I find that I no longer have the tarballs for the older 1251 NVidia drivers on my system so I've had to use the 1541 drivers. These 1541 drivers are a disaster on my system - I've had 3 hard lockups this morning, each requiring a powercycle (this is my standalone pc at home so I can't remote log in and the pseudo-tty switching wouldn't work when it crashed).
Therefore, I desperately need to get my hands on the tarballs or source rpms for the 1251 drivers that were standard in 7.2 (and I think 7.1) - the 1541s were given out by an update. The problem is that the SuSE site doesn't carry these because of licensing issues and nvidia.com only carry the latest versions (which are even flakier than 1251 judging by the forums).
I'd be very grateful for anyone who could help me get my hands on these 1251 drivers as otherwise I will be forced to downgrade to 2.4.4 - which means an insecure box and a brain-damaged ReiserFS. :-((
Thanks,

That should be even flakier than 1541 of course. The 1251 drivers that
originally came with 7.2 are the stable ones I need.
