Yep I have Hercules Prophet gforce2 mx it was easy 1) Do install, when you get to the bit about choosing a graphics driver, don't select 3d acceleration. 2) When you eventually are installed and run Yast Online Update for the first time, the nvidia drivers are downloaded and installed automatically. Reboot 3) Working 3d nvidia. well it worked for me dids
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone here has set up SuSE 8.0 and the Nvidia drivers with a Hercules Prophet graphics board?
I have been trying to help a friend via e-mail set up his 3d with this card and can't seem to get it working. I went throught the exact same procedure I do with my nvidia based board and after reboot he get's fatal X server errors. NvDriver is loaded and the packages NVIDIA_GLX and NVIDIA_kernel are both installed..and are the current ones from the NVIDIA site. I also added the "Load "glx" " and changed "nv" to "nvidia" in the XF86Config file.
Anything special I have to do to set up this card?..or any known problems setting up this card? Any help would be appreciated since I persuaded him to try SuSE over R.H, I would like to get him properly setup.
thanks in advance
