Thanks Lee but I have too much to lose on my system at the moment to risk modifying it and I always go for a SuSE distro greater than x.0. They're usually more stable, bug free etc. I'll take on board your reports of Sax2's quirks and try again tomorrow. Keith On Thursday 08 January 2004 7:38 pm, lee quick wrote:

I think I'll forget Nvidia and get a graphics card from another manufacturer that doesn't involve so much hassle under Linux. Any suggestions (cheap)? KeithSounds familiar i had to jump through hoops to get the nvidia working ok, seems Sax2 has a nasty habit of selecting the dummy driver , after installing the nvidia package along similar lines to yourself, started sax and chose my relevant card there were several cards fitting my cards description however some were linked to the nv driver some to the nvidia driver! Ended up choosing anything that fitted the bill most closely using the nvidia driver in my case a GF-4-MX440se. You think nvidia's bad! i've got an ATI radeon 9000 pci board you could have which would give you a nervous breakdown. ;) On a more positive tilt i could burn you a dvd of my Suse RPMS, which runs to about 2.5 gigs of kernels,sources,rpms and most of the suse 8.2 apt repository,and includes nvidia drivers past and present. Or for that matter SUSE 9 ? All the best, Lee -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
