Hi again!
Thank you very much for helping me. You were really a great support. I
got the NVIDIA driver to run after I compiled the latest kernel from
scratch up again. But the problem is that I can’t install the NVIDIA
driver when I boot the new kernel, only the previous default kernel
allows me to install the NVIDIA driver. The problem is actually solved
and not solved. Not solved that if I run the new compiled kernel I won’t
be able to run XWindows with the new driver.

Hi and intro to the group. CC here. Been lurking long time and wondering if
I wuz the only Lowley Linux Geek around. ;-)

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/sup...nstaller-HOWTO

Is a link on the nvidia download page that may contain what you need. I've
never installed on Suse so far, but several Mandrake with the .run script
and this weekend I did a Knoppix the *Debian* way since I was at war about
my suddenly not being to access the nvidia download. Kept getting a time
out on port 80. After I talked to my ISP this morning the problem seems to
have cleared up. ;-)

My procedure on both distros has required me to have a kernel source set up
properly configured for the kernel I am running and my machine and nvidia
interacting and downloading the sources and compiling the modules and
installing them.

It was a fairly complicated deal with the Deb and I had to apt-get a couple
of packages, but it did not require me to make contact with nvidia in the
process so I got it up and running regardless of the ISP difficulties I was
having.

Wish I had more to offer. Hope you get it going.
