Anyone else have trouble installing the NVIDIA drivers from the
repository? This was the the "G10" driver on an i386 install. Worked
fine with openSUSE 10.3 but with 11.0 I was unable to load the nvidia.ko
module.

I downloaded the drivers from NVIDIA and they installed just fine.

"THE" repository? There is only one? Never knew that.

Hi Stephen,

Short answer is Yes.

Longer answer:
I just installed openSUSE 11.0 two hours ago; my first contact with SUSE
so on a very steep learning curve.
Very impressed how everything seemed to worked OOTB or with minor tweaks.

I have an old NVidia GeForce 4 card (MX440) and loading the proprietary
drivers via One-Click worked smoothly..and fast.

Managed to set up rotating cube stuff to prove it worked using CCSM.
BUT: I have lost the edges of any application I run. All lose the right-
side positional slider and the Menu and Tool Bars. When i run Gnome-
Terminal I can't even see the terminal prompt eg david(a)mymachine:~>

I doubt this is an incorrect setting of Compiz on my part..if it is
please tell me..so suspect it's a driver problem.

Can anyone else confirm this? Any suggestions on a workaround?
Thanks
Dave

I am also aware that there are at least two repositories that point
towards the instalation of NVIDIA, so it could be that one works and the
other doesn't.

I can understand that it is too hard to copy and past the URL.

And sarcastic? Moi? Never!

I have same problem with NVIDIA packages but I don't want to compile
them on my own.
