Description Axel Braun 2006-02-26 12:22:25 UTC 
In document http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html#3
SuSE recomments to use YOU to install the latest nvidia-driver. Anyway, the script is loaded properly, but it still does not install the latest (8178) driver, it remains with the 7676-driver - and with this driver, no glx-support is installed
Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-27 09:18:34 UTC 
Installing 1.0-7676 is fine, since this is the only version our kernel "supports" on SUSE 10.0. Could you attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Thanks.

Comment 4 Axel Braun 2006-02-27 09:41:21 UTC 
In between i manually managed to upgrade to the latest version (and now glx is working), I attach the relevant logs from 7676.
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-27 10:09:21 UTC 
The logfile does *not* match the logfile. :-(

Section "Device"
[...]
    Driver         "nvidia"
[...]

[...]
(II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.0.1
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7

Since you've already installed the nvidia driver but still use the nv driver
GLX *cannot* work.

[...]
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found)
[...]
Comment 6 Axel Braun 2006-02-28 09:08:08 UTC 
Yes, that was probably the result from a prior attempt to update the driver - which also failed because I had no kernel sources installed. In any case, the YOU-script did not update the driver -neither to the old (7676) nor to the actual version.
Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-28 09:51:21 UTC 
You don't need to have kernel sources installed for updating to the nvidia driver. Sorry, but this is something I can't reproduce.
