Nvida and Linux - Suse 8.1.

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone is running a linux box at all, but here goes.

I recently downloaded the latest updates using Suse' online update facility.
Now I can't launch KDE without the login screen appearing garbled. I
searched a few threads elsewhere and discovered that I can actually launch
KDE from runlevel 3 no problem, appart from that is, KDE hangs after a
certain time.

Has anyone updated their nvidia drivers successully for Suse (or any other
variation?).

Cheers.

I haven't tried it in SuSE, but I used NVidia's own driver installer
on Mandrake 9.1 recently and it worked a charm. I only had to make one
change to the XF86Config file afterwards. Getting 3D acceleration to
work in Linux used to be a real pain, these new drivers are very easy
to install.

I would suggest getting the drivers from Nvidias site, and also grab a copy of
the .pdf file that is there as well, read and inwardly digest then just run
the driver package.

If you are on a default 8.1 kernel then all should be a breeze and will work
fine.

Have a look on the Nv forum too just to see what can and can`t happen
