OK, I'm trying to install the 5336 NVidia drivers for my GeForceFX5200. I have an updated kernel (2.4.20-102) and the matching source (2.4.20.SuSE-102) installed.
Have you looked at the HOWTO for SuSE Linux users
Now I've found the problem - I was looking at the wrong set of instructions for SuSE 8.2. Strangely, there are 2 sets, only one of which mentions the need for the "make cloneconfig && make dep" stage. Having done this, the driver reported a successful build and install. However, trying to use this driver in any way (e.g. running sax2 or starting an X session) caused the screen to corrupt (a few blue lines in the bottom inch of the screen) and the computer to crash terminally - unlike any other crash I've seen, it actually required me to reset the PC and fsck to catch corruptions. WTF is going on here?
