I recently setup a new PC with OpenSuse 11.1 32bit with the Gnome desktop. The new system uses the Asus M2N68-AM SE2 motherboard with an intergrated Nvidia Geforce 7025 \ nForce 630a (MCP68 SE).
Using the G02 nvidia drivers wouldn't work properly, was unable to change resolutions etc. I changed to the older G01 drivers meant for Geforce 6XXX and older and I was more succesfully, except I can not use any 3D enabled applcations such as 3D screensavers or games such as Holoracer. I recieve no errors, just no response. The 3D screen saver does not load and the games do not appear. Using the command "hwinfo --gfxcard", the system reports that it is using device "pci 0x03d6', model "Nvidia VGA Compatible Controller". Under SAX2 , the card is reported as "VESA Framebuffer Graphics". I'm using a LG L204WT monitor. Does anyone have any advice on how to enable 3D applications? |

Could you please post a copy of your xorg.conf located at /etc/X11
Take Care, Ian

You're clearly not using the Nvidia driver.
Okay this is what you want to do. Go into Yast Software Repositories. Then delete any Nvidia repositories you see. Next go to here NVIDIA - openSUSE and choose the first one-click For all new NVIDIA cards (Geforce 6 and newer) Let that do its thing and wait for it to say it was successfully installed. Then, restart. Choose to boot into failsafe mode. It will be a command prompt with no gui. Login as the root user and then put the root password in. Then you'll want to run sax2 to recognize the new driver by typing: Code:
sax2 -r Code:
shutdown -r now After you're done with all that post back if 3d works. If not we'll try enabling AIGLX. Take Care, Ian

hi ijbreakey
Thanks for your suggestions, unfortuanetly there was no success. I removed all the nvidia entries in the yast software repos config, then ran the one-click install. I restarted after it had completed and started the failsafe mode. Failsafe mode did load a gui, so I logged in, opened a terminal and changed to runlevel 3. I tried sax but my system doesn't appear to have that command. So I used sax2 -r. It loaded it's own x service and I went into the 'change configuration' window. When I attempted to change to a higher resolution, the screen messed up and I exited the system. After the reboot I went back into normal mode, everything seems to be ok. I believe the system decided to use the G01 drivers instaed of the G02. There is still no 3D support. I'm thinking maybe I should just get a Nvidia card for the pci express socket and not bother with the integrated one. |

Woah you get the gui though so that's good. Post your xorg.conf now, it might be that we simply need to run some configuration commands.
Take Care, Ian

Nope.. still using the NV driver.
Try rebooting, then erase everything at the GRUB menu and just type the number 3. This will boot you to init 3. Login as root and then put root password in. Type Code:
sax2 -r Once it's done then get to init 5 by typing Code:
init 5 If the gui doesn't load then type Code:
startx

No luck, now it's saying i'm using some kind of BIOS driver and it's dropped down to a lower resolution.
