sax 2 wiil only run with "nv" rather than "nvidia"
both glx and dri crash the screen and i dont seem to even have a editable
xf86config or config-4 file. thinking about sticking my old nvidia tnt card
back in, but im sure i had this working earlier on this machine 4 months
ago.
Yast 2 doesn't work worth a damn and i am now in a kindergarten type
graphics screen.
I also tried earlier installing the source nvidia files,
Im going to try the nvidia list for a while: HOW to install NVIDIA drivers
on SuSE 8.0 for a Geforce2 ti???
If anybody has a working step-by-step thanks.
This worked for me...Install via yast2 and then reboot. Edit your
/etc/X11/XF86Config file and feel free to take some of mine:
