Hello all,
I guess I am more lost then I orginally thought. I have installed opensuse 11 on my Asus g1S laptop. However I cant get the video card to work and I am not clear what I am doing wrong I have followed the documentation supplied by suse with no avail.
When I boot up it takes me from the boot splash screen to a console log in.
So I proceed with my login, then when I try to start X I get :
Fatal: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-pae/updates/nvidia.ka): No such device
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to laod the Nvidia Kernel module!
(EE) Nvidia(0): Aborting**
(EE)Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Which I have had this happen in the past, which indicates that there is something not working with my Nvidia driver install. The Nvidia card I have is Geforce 9500m GS.
SO I then proceed to reboot and log in via safemode. Once in safemode I run yast-----> hardware to see what is there for video card and get the following:
Card: NVidia GeForce 9500M GS
Monitor: 800 x 600
Looks ok to me ( i know resoloution is low, but I can live with that for now)
I hit OK it asks in final steps to test the configuration, even though I have not changed anything I hit test:
Test fails and spits a log file out (i can post if needed)
Next I look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see what I see in there. Here is what I see in that:
Section “Monitor”
Option “CalcAlgorithm” “XServerPool”
HorizSync 30-38
Identifier “Monitor[0]”
ModelName “800X600@60HZ”
Option “DPMS”
Option “PreferredMode” “800x600”
VendorName “–> LCD”
VertRefresh 30-61
UseModes “Modes[0]”
EndSectionSection “Modes”

EndSectionSection “Screen”

EndSubSection
Device “Device[0]”

Monitor “Monitor[0]”
EndSectionSection “Device”
BoardName “GeForce 9500M GS”
BusID “1:0:0”
Driver “nvidia”
Identifier “Device[0]”
VendorName “NVidia”
EndSection
I see that my screens are all the same setting, but not sure how to fix this, or how to fix my monitor settings as
ModelName “800X600@60HZ”
Option “DPMS”
Option “PreferredMode” “800x600”
seems very low since I can run the monitor at 1050 x 1680 as stated by manufacture.
So if anyone can please help me get this resolved I would be more then greatful.
In your debt
Bill
