What's that? (The lost in space part, I mean - movie titles get translated, so I don't know which one is that, or I don't remember)
Loose this now. Mesasoft drivers have caused me nothing but grief with nvidia drivers and many howto sites (and I believe nvidia) state that this is a conflict. This is most like the cause of the problems. if you try and rpm -e mesasoft rpm will complain that the other dependent packages need this
Ok, done. run: switch2nvidia switch2nvidia_glx cp /etc/X11/XF86Config.nvidia.20030511 /etc/X11/XF86Config /sbin/depmod /sbin/ldconfig
and finally, reboot, init 3, startx (from a console).
It takes something like three or four minutes till I get kde running - I'm not kidding, when I think it has hanged, I boot up my old pentium 120 w 32 Mb, and I have time to ssh into this one before kde is finished and accepting input. By the way, response to ssh is fast, but inside kde even the mouse gets lost now and then.
driver - not true! just rm it for the /usr/lib/GL dir directly. I am willing to bet this is the source of your problems and if you think about it the slow video response is most likely on the order of the mesasoft GL performance!
It wasn't, I'm afraid. :-(
Remember that this machine had nvidia working last december with the same software - except upgrades. Mesasoft was there from the very begining.
The other option is to point the games / 3D apps to look for the nvidia drivers. Many state that this is the case, like the original Quake 3 with
I want nvidia working to play games, but I can't even use kde or gnome. It works perfect now with the open driver (nv), but horrible with the closed "nvidia".
Like I said. I always loose the mesasoft drivers first think - they're antiques, they're slow, and almost always in the way and a conflict. Try this and get back to us to let us know - well kick this in the butt yet :) !
Good try, but didn't work out. I'm going to try to downgrade the kernel, and see what happens - it's faster for me than updating to a mantel kernel, because 35 Mb on a modem is a lot. If it works, then I'll think about upgrading.
Ok, lets get smart about this. I have an gf2-mx 200/400 and there were some tricks to getting to to play nice. Also the later versions of SuSE have had some changes with the way the monitors and cards interact and this too gave me some problems One other thing. Have you tried to boot into another wm? Something like Blackbox, XFCE, Wmaker, etc.. does the same thing happen? Need to see if this is an nvidia thing, a kde thing or what. I'll look at some files and readmes and see about some XFConfig options - I remember this seemed to help alot - especially with the card to monitor issues. EDIDs and AGP settings, etc. Get back to you soon. Cheers, Curtis.
