Hi Mike & Dave B,
Further to my problem with the NVidia 3d Graphics function in SuSE 8.2,
after installing updates. Specifically a kernal update.
The 3D AGP card is an TNT2 Model 64.
When Paul & I got back we did as you suggested - We followed the notes I
made and read the help on the NVidia website.
We copied the original 2.4.20 Kernal source from the 8.2 install disk and
did that strange geeky stuff in a terminal.
Funny text scrolled up in the terminal.
After a re-boot We got the nVidea splash screen and that fixed the
problem. Thank-you.
Well almost ...........On log out and system shut down the X-Server falls
over. Think it should switch into SVGA to show shut down script in
verbose, but have flashing blocks, just like an old Spectrum crash !
Fortuneatly the shut down script executes properly and the system halts
normally, but I cannot see the verbose shutdown as normal.
All other 2D and 3D X-server functionality is OK
Please can you give me some advise how I can fix this twitch.
What file output would you need to look at ?
Where is it located ?
I hope the tounge in cheek aspect raised a smile.
Thank-You,
Regards Laurie
