I use opensuse 11.3. Also I did set the repository like you do, and with anonymous authentication. After I did a zypper refresh, and it said all ok and updated. wait: you added the repo, and next thing you did "zypper refresh" and "zypper up"? you'll have to to ask zypper to install the packages you need:
Now I did as your write above. BUT after the added repo I ran Yast2's online update, and after the nvidia-seetings was ok.
"zypper in
"
Yes ok, but to do it a bit fast, I did it from Yast2's online update :-)
then zypper will add other packages (dependencies) as needed and ask you for confirmation. i'm not sure if the nvidia driver depends on nvidia-settings; if not you'd have tell zypper explicitly to install it: "zypper in nvidia-settings"
Ok.
[or perhaps that is what you did, and i didn't get that from your email...]
But nvidia-settings didn't worked.
Then I could see information running nvidia-settings, that it was not installed, and how to geti rid of it. I should run the cnf nvidia-seetings. I did that, and then it installed, and also what obviously lacked from the nvidia install.
But why didn't it get installed when I have made the repo is what I would like to know. Please ! :-) see above... Ok
Having ran the nvidia-xconfig, an/etc/X11/xorg.conf was made.
But I only have 640x480 resolution, and cannot get higher.
I have my xorg.conf here:
http://www.urbakken.dk/xorg.conf did you run "nvidia-settings" as root _after_ running "nvidia-xconfig" ? to me your xorg.conf looks like some vanilla default that would run with any hardware, but at low resoluton, etc.
Now after the clean instal and online update, I have no xorg.conf anylonger.
when you run "nvidia-settings" (when it's actually present& working) your monitor gets configure, not before that. if you run it with root priviliges, you can save the configuration to your xorg.conf file (merge).
As I ran it, the Max resolution is only 1024x768. Why that ?.
[not sure if i understand what you're saying, and the other way around. slightly confusing discussion...]
Yes I'm the culprit. Sorry. Now I hope I can get it up to run with a higher resolution, but I don't know how ?
