    Default openSuse 11.1 Beta NVIDIA driver available

    Hi all,

    I tried to install NVIDIA driver 173.14.12 on openSuse 11.1 Beta 4, but no matter what, even with gcc, make and kernel-sources installed, the shell script kept moaning about the kernel.

    So, I found these:- ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.15/

    They are beta drivers for 173.14.15 and they work really well! Make sure to put compositing etc into xorg.conf afterwards.

    That's all really.

    Hi,
    I have bought recently a DELL latitude E6500 laptop, and intalled Open SUSE 11. The problem I am facing is that the graphic drivers are not working properly. (Display icons/fonts too large,)
    I do not know if the graphic card is detected at all or not?
    The garphic card is Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M 256 MB DDR3.
    please suggest me wht to do?

    Hello, I just downloaded these packages:
    NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.15-pkg1.run, and
    NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.15-pkg1.run. They are very unusual, and exotic looking. I am used to the RPM, tgz, or the Debs, but this is a new animal. What do I do with them?
