What is shown by the following commands? (in a terminal)


glxinfo | grep -i opengl
uname -r

That will not help you as long as you overwrite xorg to use a graphics
driver without 3d acceleration (you have nv in xorg.conf this driver has no
glx).
What happens if you simply remove your xorg.conf and reboot?

makayama · November 10, 2011, 12:53pm

are you mean to delete xorg.conf.d in the etc /X11

ONLY TO DOING THAT TO RUN 3D acceleator

please give me simple instruction to solve the problem i try to doing these for long time

thak you again for your post and replay

Can you show me if your nvidia driver has been installed at all with the
output from


rpm -qa '*nvidia*'

The output should look like that


nvidia-computeG02-275.21-7.1.x86_64
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-275.21_k2.6.37.1_1.2-6.1.x86_64
x11-video-nvidiaG02-275.21-7.1.x86_64

I checked at nvidia.com that the 275.21 driver which is in the nvidia repo
(that is what the one click uses) is indeed compatible with the gt 540m.

No do not delete the xorg.conf.d, check if you have a plain xorg.conf file,
if yes delete that and only that (sorry I somehow missed that you edited in
xorg.conf.d).
But give the output of the rpm command I gave you first to see if your
nvidia driver is in place at all.

makayama · November 10, 2011, 1:26pm

ok the outpuT is :

x11-video-nvidiaG02-275.21-7.1.x86_64
nvidia-computeG02-275.21-7.1.x86_64
nvidia-texture-tools-2.0.6-10.1.x86_64
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-275.21_k2.6.37.1_1.2-6.1.x86_64

and please check the link picture from the terminal in etc/X11/
check if you have a plain xorg.conf file,

DID YOU MEAN I INSTALL THE DRIVER FROM WEB SITE NVIDIA?

makayama · November 10, 2011, 1:48pm

ok man i check the output of your in my install/remove software

all of theme check installed successfully

i need t solve the problem

only i doing was to install with easy method one click in init 5
with install kernal source , gcc , make before i start install the nvidia driver

after install sucess
i make reboot

it one help me please …

martin_helm · November 10, 2011, 1:55pm

You do not have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that is not the problem.
Please revert your change you made in the xorg.conf.d device file (where you changed the driver to nv). If you want to try to change it at all you need to write “nvidia” instead of “nv”.

Did you make any other changes like changing the boot parameters and if yes which one?

Under normal circumstances the installation via the repositories just succeeds and you do not need to do anything else.
Since something failed for you you might first check if blacklisting noveau and disabling KMS helps it is described here
SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE
ignore the rest at this link at the moment.
If this still does not help, I would consider to go fully through the “hard way” and install the newest nvidia driver form nvidia.com (it is version** **285.05.09). If you do that you need to remove first all the nvidia rpm’s you have now.

makayama · November 10, 2011, 2:20pm

hahaaha i found the problem
i return to xorg.conf.d i nthe path etc/X11

Note that i using 11.4 X64

10-evdev.conf
11-mouse.conf
50-device.conf
50-device.conf.rpmsave
50-monitor.conf
50-screen.conf
50-synaptics.conf
50-vmmouse.conf
50-wacom.conf
90-keytable.conf
.50-device.conf.swp
.swp

I OPEN IT IN THE INIT 5 GUI TERMINAL

DID I NEED TO DELETE SOMTHING

I KNOW THE IMPORTANT THINK IS :

50-device.conf

how i can delete them:

50-device.conf not deleted becouse it is general files

50-device.conf.rpmsave
.50-device.conf.swp
.swp

what is mean ?
xorg.conf.d
xorg.conf.d.swap
.xorg.conf.install

makayama · November 10, 2011, 2:40pm

ok i delete of recent now be default like the following :

10-evdev.conf
11-mouse.conf
50-device.conf
50-monitor.conf
50-screen.conf
50-synaptics.conf
50-vmmouse.conf
50-wacom.conf
90-keytable.conf
.swp

That makes me suspect you have some optimus (nvidia and intel graphics card
which can be switched).
I know this is not too well supported in linux.
Can you check if that is the case? If yes you should open a new thread about
that in the proper forum (you reported your problem here in the application
forum, whereas it should be in hardware or multimedia).

I am myself not at all familiar with the optimus technology since I own no
device that has it.

makayama · November 10, 2011, 8:22pm

hello

you are correct about your words

i make format root partation

and reinstall opensuse 11.4

he compiz work fine in the startup of desktop (GNOME)

Not KDE Desktop

and i read that opensuse come now with support of intl driver

but the bad think that i can’t install nvidia driver

i need 3d acceleator super in my work

i hope that happen to solve the problem with waiting developer to solve the problem as soon

thank for all people who interactive with me

compiz work fine but the 3d game was bad with legacy intel

;););)
