I'm about to give up
This new loader is especially difficult for Linux newbies to get running properly. I got it to compile and load, reconfigured XF86Config and I get an error message that no screens are found. I checked through the forum and I didn't change the identifiers. I have attached both the XF86 error log and the XF86 config file. I know this is a configuration problem somewhere.

right at the end of the log you have:
--- (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** --- Make sure that you get the right NVIDIA_kernel package and install it properly. As root, you should be able to do a "lsmod" and see the "nvidia" module loaded. |

don't think he has our problem.
he just installed it wrongly, so that the module isn't loaded at boot time. an insmod nvidia before the init 5 could help alot.

*grumblfwamp*
ok, apparently the module isn't loading. I tried re-running the installer, and setting up through SaX2 and I'm still getting the same error report. The help link from the readme to SuSE gives me a 404 error so I can't even check that to see if I'm installing this right, and searching the SuSE site is no help either. Does anyone have a copy of the SuSE linux install directions?

hopefully you've already downloaded and installed the appropriate rpm from here:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86 If that didn't, or you've compiled a custom kernel, you may need to try to install the below kernel module package: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li....0-4363.tar.gz I use custom kernels all of the time and the .tar.gz file is the only way to go .. |
