I have a TNT2M64. You must use the 1.0-7174. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-7174.html
Read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/nvidia-installer-H OWTO before downloading the driver.* ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/nvidia-installer-H OWTO
There is a scrip for creating the devices on the driver. Put it on /etc/rc.d/boot.local.
To all who was watching this thread. The above was the solution to compile the nvidia driver. As per the documentation found on SuSE's webpage you MUST use 1.0-7174: ...snip... 21. Support for legacy chipsets (GeForce2 and older) nVidia dropped support for legacy chipsets with release 1.0-7664. Currently these are the following: NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID ------------------------------- ------------------------------- RIVA TNT 0x0020 RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028 RIVA TNT2 Ultra 0x0029 Vanta/Vanta LT 0x002C RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro 0x002D Aladdin TNT2 0x00A0 GeForce 256 0x0100 GeForce DDR 0x0101 Quadro 0x0103 GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro 0x0150 GeForce2 Ti 0x0151 GeForce2 Ultra 0x0152 Quadro2 Pro 0x0153 If you're affected by this use release 1.0-7174 or older. --- I've treid older but none of them worked :) It would be great if YOU would be smart enough to understand the above and have the steps listed in the howto automated. But its not SuSE's fault. I blame this one on nvidia :) But after successful completion of the compile of 1.0-7174 I still could not get SaX2 to load the nvidia drivers. I used the SaX2 -m 0 nvidia. It loads SaX2 and the picture is all black (but looks centered :) ) but there is no image at all on it. I will try a little bit more today and review the logs and maybe do a fresh install and do all the steps listed in the howto incase I f'd something up with my constant adjusting this trying that.... etc... If I still can't get it to work I'll just stop and tomorrow first thing I'll buy a newer nvidia with composite out :) -- Regards, Shawn Holland Sandara Technologies Ltd.
