I'm a real newbie on Linux, but installing the nvidia drivers in my SuSe 9 distro was one of the easiest things I've done. I Changed the runlevel by opening a Root Konsole session (init 3 or telinit 3) then ran the nividia installer. I have noticed (after re-installing SuSe half a dozen times in the last month that if the 3D drivers have installed properly, the nvidia splash screen appears during the boot sequence and not otherwise - not very scientific but quite comforting. Now if I could persuade SuSe to accept the Epson C64 drivers as easily as Fedora does ( without 100's of dependency errors) - I'd be happy. On Thu, 2004-03-25 at 14:30, Gemma Peter wrote:

Incidently the 4620 beta version a neat little "tweaker" and didn't need any intervention with Sax2 The lastest driver I am aware of is- NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run It has a built in installer. See the readme on the Nvidia site. (Always remove the older version with nvidia-installer --uninstall before installing the new version)I forgot to do this part.There was a note in the readme that it would do this but how do I tell whether the 3D acceleration support is _actually_ enabled?Open the console and type:- gears This will show you the fps. KeithThanks I will try this out when I get home tonight. Still i think the having to change run levels and stuff is far too complicated. I now understand what ESR was saying about the Luxury of Ignorance. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
