Re: [opensuse] X problem on Inspiron 8200 11.2 & nVidia driver

Just did a fresh install of 11.2 on a Dell Inspiron 8200. It has the GeForce 4Go chip with 64MB VRAM. It works fine with the oss driver, but when I install the nVidia driver, I get a blank screen. It even turns the backlight off.

I'm assuming there is a problem with the resolution but I'm not sure. I can't get SaX2 to run at any setting with the nVidia driver.

Once I remove it, it works fine.

The display is a 1600x1200 UXGA.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanx

From memory, I think you have to use the nvidia legacy driver as the current driver does not support this chipset. Sudhir -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
