I have recently bought a ASUS EN9400GT Silent videocard.
After installing the nvidia videodriver this driver cannot be used.
The logfile Xorg0.log gives the following info:

I had some spare time and a spare partition so I installed a very recent release of sabayon linux, because some review told me "the most recent video drivers" This installation recognized my videocard. This Xorg0.log showed me the next info:

But I this card should run in OpenSuse, what should must be updated ?
Thanks, Hans
Hans,
Install the latest version of the nvidia proprietary drivers (currenly 185.18.31); you can either do this via the nvidia repository using Yast or compile from source.
Instructions for both methods are on the nvidia web site (as well as a download link for the proprietary installer (which compiles from source) and the Yast repository.
HTH.
Thanks,I think it is not the solution for different reasons 1. Opensuse and Sabayon use both nvidiadrivers 185.18.14 2. Nvidia 185.18.31 is not available in the opensuse repositories, 185.18.14 is. 3. Last weeks I read more in this forum about geforce 9400 cards which would not work on opensuse without any solution. I think it is a hal or x11 problem. But if nvidia version comes available on the nvidia repo I give it a chance.
