Hi All, I could not get 11.3 x86_64 to correctly configure my graphics to match the working (seemed simple to set up at the time) configuration I'd had in 11.1 So, as an experiment, I transplanted my 11.1 working xorg.conf and *bingo* it worked ... for a few minutes :-( ... but exhibited a very annoying problem related to twinview, described below. I Googled, studied relevant forums at nVidia, dug through all my 'forensics / debugging' notes to no avail. So, I downgraded the nVidia driver using their installer (works a treat; backs the existing config up and installs an '--unstall' option to back it out, if needed.) The downgraded driver works beautifully but I'd prefer to not have to manually intervene every time there's a kernel update. Below is a copy of my post at the nVidia forum (not holding my breath.) If you have any ideas or or experience debugging this oddball problem, I'd be grateful for suggestions. regards, Carl - - - - - 8< - - - - - hardware ASUS X83VB-X1 (laptop) S/N 89N0AS533473390 M/B N80VB GPU GeForce 9300 M GS, 512MB working environments a) openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 up to driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.21 b) openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 downgraded to driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.21 'broken' environments a) openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 with driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.29 b) openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 with driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36 (kernel 2.6.34.7-0.7-default) description of problem I run in Twinview, with my external display positioned to the right of my laptop. internal display: 1280 x 800 external display: 1680 x 1050 virtual desktop: 2960 x 1050 When working correctly, the laptop display pans up and down, 'tracking' my mouse as needed, to accommodate the additional height of the virtual desktop. The 'broken' configuration (starting with the new default openSUSE 11.3 install running either of the later nVidia drivers) causes the mouse pointer to lock up and momentarily disappear, and the normal panning to fail, when I attempt to breach the upper or lower boundary of the laptop display. This is triggered on either display, but the disappearance of the mouse pointer is more visible on the larger one. I can 'bump' the boundaries and wait for the mouse pointer to reappear, and in this manner gradually, incrementally navigate around. But the system isn't actually usable. I've transplanted a copy of the working 11.1 xorg.conf and downgraded the driver and the system is running great. But it would be better to not have to intervene manually at every kernel update. Any insight or assistance will be gratefully appreciated. - - - - - 8< - - - - - -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
