Nvidia-driver for OS11.1

English Applications
1

Hi!
I just installed OS11.1 and everything seems ok.
Its missing Nvidia-driver and im wandering if there is a working
Nvidia-driver for my laptop:
Dell Latitude D830

  • Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M

I add Nvidia-repository, but it seems there is no drivers for OS11.1
It worked with OS10.3 and OS11.

Nvidia doesnt have driver on theirs support-web-pages but the have som
BETA Drivers from 2007.
I tried to install the normal Nvidia Driver that shows up in Software
Manager, but then it almost crash the computer.

Now i run on driver “nv”.
Anyone?

Also this repository for 11.1 nvidia. Once you install the repo, Yast
auto selects the RPMs for you.
http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1/
You can’t browse the repo. You can use the URL in Yast → Software
Repos → Add URL.

I installed Nvidia driver “GF6 or newer” and the computer boot up but
come with 1024x768.
Nvidia Configuration doesn not start at all and the computer is
extreemly slow.

I manage to start “nvidia-settings” in CLI and then i could set
resolution. Then it works!
I think Nvidia driver/software is not bugfree, but now it looks good on
my screen :slight_smile:
