installing NVidia driver for Geforce GTX 275 fails

[karx11erx]

Hi,

I have just installed openSUSE 11.1 64 bit on my system. Subsequently registered to get an auto-update repo and auto-updated until no more updates were offered.

Then I first tried YaST to install NVidia drivers from the NVidia repo (added their repo), but sax2 wouldn't recognize them.

So I downloaded their 190. (beta) drivers, installed the kernel source code and gcc 4.3. Then I switched to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), closed the x server, ran the driver install as described (gcc 4.3 is installed). Installer said that all is fine (I checked the log to be sure). So I ran sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia, but the driver still isn't recognized.

What can I do now to make this work?

Solved. I simply had to call nvidia-xconfig as root.

Thanks for posting the solution, now maybe others will see your post and
know the cure.

However I doubt it very much.
