Description Klaas Freitag 2005-09-12 08:42:49 UTC

I run YOU and tried to install the NVidia driver for my NVidia GeForce2 Ultra  
on the SUSE computer sturm.suse.de  
  
The download took some time at the first try and seemed to succeed. However,  
the XServer is not accellerated. In SAX2 the button to enable 3d support is  
diabled. I tried YOU a second time which finished quickly.  
In /var/log/Yast2/y2log, I found that YOU calls fetchnvidia.sh. Did that on 
the command line told that the nvidia driver is already installed, but there 
is no 3d support.

You can log in to sturm.suse.de to debug if required.

Unfortunately you have a legacy chip, which is no longer supported by the
current nvidia driver. For details see

We won't support different versions of the nvidia driver. Unfortunately
we cannot warn the user during execution of the patch due to a YOU limitation.
At least it's pretty fast since nothing is downloaded in your case. :-)
