Re: [LUG] Nvidia problems



Darren is correct Paul. I had the identical error log on my
SuSE 8.2 Personal until I read the installation procedure
outlined in SuSE's support database ie. Nvidia->/installation
of NVIDIA Drivers Version 4349 or higher.

If you've updated the kernel don't forget to update the
source. I had updated to an Athlon kernel and forgot to
update the source.

The kernel source rpm is on the SuSE 8.2 CDs and is
installable using YOU.
For updated/Athlon kernels the source is available from
the update section of SuSE's site. In my case I downloaded
the Athlon source rpm with Konqueror and used the
browser's YOU option to install it.

By the way you might also have to use Sax2 to re-enable
3D acceleration.

Once the kernel source was installed found the new driver
installation a doddle in comparison with the old method.
