I had to replace my really nice 64-bit 12.1 install with a 32-bit version. Don't ask why. I did a list of the installed RPMs on the 64-bit install and then installed them on the 32-bit with zypper. Worked a charm. Except...
The nvidia proprietary driver does not load. There is an error message in the X log that says the nvidia driver could not be loaded. Details are sparse. I think it is because the nouveau driver is installed. I see that there is a file called /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf that contains "blacklist nouveau". I did a reboot, and the driver is still installed.
Could there be some error in the initrd? Otherwise, why would the driver still be installed?
The nvidia RPMs are from OBS. Thay are:
x11-video-nvidiaG02-290.10-13.1.i586 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-290.10_k3.1.0_1.2-12.1.i586 nvidia-computeG02-290.10-13.1.i586
Workaround: I had to rename the nouveau.ko kernel module. Then the nvidia driver loads. For whatever reason, the blacklist thing does not have any effect. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
