Anyone knows how to adjust fan speed (or have it automatically adjusted)??
It’s really serious for me, MUST reduce the noise, or leave LinuxWorld. Under Windows it automatically adjusts to almost inaudible level. Have just downloaded and installed (oneclick) the latest NVIDIA driver (I hope, being a total newbie to Linux/OpenSUSE).****
Hi
Have you installed nvclock from the packman repository?

Well, you haven’t accounted for all the possible combinations. For example if you have Linux running NTP for time sync and powered on across a daylight saving time change, then when you shutdown, the corrected time should be written to the BIOS clock. There are lots of other combinations some of which work and some not so well. Basically localtime for a hardware clock is a broken concept and all Linux can do is try to cope as well as it can.
- InTuxicate,
it goes off once you successfully installed the NVidia drivers.
sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia

Thanks for your help, Malcolm, I’ve tried to install, and the system tells me nvclock is installed, but I cannot find or access it anywhere…
Uwe:
Thanks for your effort,
tried to execute the command, but nothing happens, and I get a bunch of warnings… At one point in the action of hurriedly scrolling textlines a request for password flashed past. The logfile lists 26 instances of “Directory”/use/share/fonts/local…" does not exist - entry deleted
At the very end it says:
(II)primary drive is… and
(WW) No devices detected.
Fatal sever error: no screens found.
And the fan still screams…
Hi
It sounds like the 1-click install may not have worked. The probable
cause is your kernel and the nvidia driver don’t match.
Can you compare the release of the nvidia drivers installed via YaST
and your kernel or the output from the following;
uname -a
zypper se nvidia

Does it work now?

Malcolm:
I didn’t seem to get zypper properly installed, but
thank you mate!!http://forums.opensuse.org/images/smiliesnew/rotfl.png
Uwe:
Tried running sax2 again, first time: no result,
second time: fan slowed down for a second (BIG hopes);
third time: display froze in several white rectangles, had to restart PC and:
SUCCESS!
Why? I have no idea - selfrepairing stuff scares the living daylight out of me. BUT IT WORKS!
BIG thank you!

Woohoo! Make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf!
