Nvidia Installer HOWTO for SUSE LINUX users
Last Update: Sat Jan 24 13:02:51 CET 2009
This document describes how to use the new nvidia installer for the
installation of the latest nvidia driver, which is available for your
SUSE LINUX system.
NOTE: The nvidia installer does not work as long as a Xserver is still
running and the nvidia kernel module is still loaded. Therefore
please boot into runlevel 3 by specifying "3" as kernel boot
option or switch to runlevel 3 ("init 3") and unload the kernel
module ("rmmod nvidia") before running the nvidia installer.

It is recommended to use YaST for installation of the NVIDIA
driver. There are several reasons for this. First, it's
simple. Second, and this is the most important one, you won't need to
recompile the nvidia kernel module after a kernel update.
Update your Kernel via YOU (YaST Online Update). Use
YaST -> Software -> Software Repositories -> Add
Protocol: HTTP
Server Name: : download.nvidia.com
Directory on Server: /opensuse/11.1
to add the NVIDIA http server as additional installation source.
Now use
YaST -> Software -> Software Management
to install the NVIDIA driver. The appropriate NVIDIA packages will be
autoselected, if your card is supported. These are either
a) x11-video-nvidia + nvidia-gfx-kmp-(kernel_flavor)
or
b) x11-video-nvidiaG01 + nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-(kernel_flavor)
or
c) x11-video-nvidiaG02 + nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-(kernel_flavor)
If no additional packages are autoselected, your card is not supported
by the driver (RPMs) at the moment.
Use "sax2 -r" for X.Org configuration.
People who aren't afraid of recompiling the nvidia kernel module or
even reinstalling the nvidia driver each time the kernel has been
updated and want or need to use the latest and greatest nvidia driver
can use the following steps 1-3. The others should use the
instructions above using YaST and skip the steps below.
1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means
installing the 'kernel-source', 'make' and 'gcc' packages with YaST2.
2) Use the nvidia installer for 180.22.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run -q
3) Configure X.Org with
sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (0 is a digit, not a letter!)
NOTE: There is no need to try to enable 3D support. It's already
enabled, when the nvidia driver is running.
IMPORTANT: You need to recompile and install the nvidia kernel module
after each kernel update.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run -K

Use "sax2 -r" for X.Org configuration.
People who aren't afraid of recompiling the nvidia kernel module or
even reinstalling the nvidia driver each time the kernel has been
updated and want or need to use the latest and greatest nvidia driver
can use the following steps 1-3. The others should use the
instructions above using YaST and skip the steps below.
1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means
installing the 'kernel-source', 'make' and 'gcc' packages with YaST2.
2) Use the nvidia installer for 180.22.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run -q
3) Configure X.Org with
sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (0 is a digit, not a letter!)
NOTE: There is no need to try to enable 3D support. It's already
enabled, when the nvidia driver is running.
IMPORTANT: You need to recompile and install the nvidia kernel module
after each kernel update.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run -K
It is recommended to use YaST for installation of the NVIDIA
driver. There are several reasons for this. First, it's
simple. Second, and this is the most important one, you won't need to
recompile the nvidia kernel module after a kernel update.
Update your Kernel via YOU (YaST Online Update). Use
YaST -> Software -> Change installation Source -> Add
Protocol: HTTP
Server Name: : download.nvidia.com
Directory on Server: novell/sle10sp2
to add the NVIDIA http server as additional installation source.
Now use
YaST -> Software -> Install and Delete Software
to install the NVIDIA driver. Select the following packages:
x11-video-nvidiaG01
