Q: Seeing as trying to get an NVidia card to work with SuSE is a cruel joke, what is the best alternative? Are ATI Radeon's any easier? I'm going through enough just to install 9.2 (mysterious "error occurred during installation"). To have to fight the NVidia install is exasperating. I'm willing to buy another card for simplicity's sake.
Depends on what you mean by easier, I have both Nvidia (MX440 on a PVR) and Ati (9600 on the desktop), I dont have any issues with either when it comes to installing the proprietary drivers, it can be a pain if you update your kernel, requiring a complete reinstall of the drivers, but thats to be expected. If your not running a vanilla kernel then I'd recommend pulling the drivers off Suse X11 support site: http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/x11/index.html Regards, Ben
