Google Images not Showing Correctly

English Multimedia
1

Hey,

I’ve just been to google images to look up screenshots of applications, and when the results come back, all the images are distorted, and I can’t make anything out. If I hover over the image the popup shows clearly, and images within webpages show clearly, but every thumbnail in google images looks like it’s been shot with a missle. Any ideas?

I took a screenshot but couldn’t see how to upload it to the post.

Thanks,

I was reading other posts with users having the same problem as you have and it was not installing the proprietary video card driver. Here is a link that you can work your way through :slight_smile:

Just to give you a little bit of an idea of the importance of proprietory drivers. When I first booted openSUSE 11.3 my screen was completly upside down; until I installed the nVidia driver! I could not do anything in KDE at all :frowning:

Cheers!!!

I would like to mention that your battery is critically low. I know that this has nothing to do with your problem.

@Pilgervater-you said it

It works fine for me luckily

I knew someone would need to mention that, lol…

That’s a completely different issue, but a full battery is lasting 40 minutes under openSUSE, and that is aweful!

Did you tried to use the power management in KDE System Settings? There you can change the setting from performance to powersave, whicht might make your battery last longer.

The video card i’ve got is: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M

Does anyone know where I can get the right drivers for my system?

Any help would be really appreciated.

This is the driver I need, but it says it can’t contact the download server. All links from 3rd party sites redirect here. Is there another way to get and install the driver?
