Hi
Has anyone installed the nvidia proprietary driver? I get the following
error;
ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in
'/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc7-3-default/source'. Please make sure
you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that
they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be
sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If
you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify
the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line
option.
I updated the kernel to rc8, but still the same. Kernel devel pattern
installed, make gcc etc all the normal things…
I do note that the kernel /usr/include/linux/version.h has;
I installed the proprietary nVidia 173.14.25 driver on an LXDE openSUSE-11.3 M2 install (the “hardway” which is not hard). It worked fine (great fonts) except after running nvidia-xconfig it gave me 1600x1200 instead of the 1920x1200 that I expected.
Hi Knurpht
That was it, many thanks Although I had to manually configure
desktop effects as there doesn’t seem to be a default configuration,
it’s all working now
Just need to look at compiling either on OBS or manually my favorite
applications but apart from that it’s looking good

Cheers, enjoy. It’s funny we still call it the ‘hard’ way, though with quotes. There’s more and harder work to do installing the driver on windu systems.

Will this version work with the M1 version?

meant to say will this work with M1 or M2 on 11.3 desktop?
