Re: [LUG] NVidia Drivers + SUSE 9.0



According to Nvidia it is - apparently it is a fault in Suse 9's build.
One easy way to check the 3d drivers are in place it to check that the
openGL screensavers are working. Apparently they won't without the
drivers installed

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.

The nvidia screen appears now before the login screen
but when I run 3Ddiag it says that they're not installed properly
however glxgears runs OK. I get FPS=2500.00 is this normal?
