Hello, Juan, I'll test it just in case as soon as I have some time, but I think the problem lies with the X Server, not with the driver. I say that because it does not work with the open source drivers either. I've tried nv and nouveau with no success. Thanks for your suggestion, Marcelo Em Dom 02 Ago 2009, Juan De Vincenzo escreveu:
Have you tried installing the "hard way", just to see if that works? I have found this reference when googling the nvidia driver you used [1].

I had an nvidia GeForce 8400 that worked perfectly in this opensuse 11.1 box. However, the video card failed and was replaced by an GeForce 9400 GT, which seems not to work with opensuse 11.1's X server (?!). sax2 detects the new card as VESA Framebuffer and gives me 1280x1024 resolution only (should be 1680x1050) and veeeeery slow graphics. If I force it to generate a xorg.conf file which loads the appropriate driver ("sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" or "sax2 -r -m 0=nv"), X aborts while loading. The "nvidia" driver was installed from nvidia's opensuse repository (http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1). I have installed Fedora 11 in this machine to test the card and it works perfectly well with Fedora, but I'd rather stay with opensuse. Is there a way to make this card work with opensuse? I have the following packages installed: kernel-pae-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 kernel-pae-base-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 kernel-pae-extra-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 xorg-x11-7.4-8.19.1 xorg-x11-server-7.4-17.6.1 xorg-x11-driver-video-7.4-19.8.2 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-pae-185.18.14_2.6.27.23_0.1-2.2
