English Applications

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?

Check out 1-Click-Install, it already offers packages for 11.1

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:
