i instališem drivere za nju sa

emerge -a nvidia-drivers

Za SuSE, Slackware ... sam pre skidao ručno sa

http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

Tu nađi fajlu koja odgovara tvojoj konfiguracij

i instališi sa komandom

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.70.14-pkg2.run

ali bolje instališi verziju 173.14.12-r2 jer je ova gornja kod mene maskirana a to nije ni slučajno bez razloga,
sigurno više verzije imaju neke greške.

Pozdrav nemysis

ili samo udjes u Yast ----> Add Software Sources, i dodaj ovaj repozitorijum:

ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.0

a onda samo instaliraj x11-video-nvidiaG01 paket i gotovo (Yast ---> Add Software (ili kako se vec zvase).

ovo sto je opisao nemysis je "rucno" instaliranje koje je OK, ali kad vec
postoji Yast, sto da ne preko njega. Ima tamo i neka "one-click" istall
metoda, ali mislim da je ova najbolja. Dok sam bio na susetu, tako sam
instalirao uvek drajvere za nvidiju, i sve radi ok. Ovim nacinom instalacije
ces osigurati da ce ti se pri eventualnom apdejtu kernela apdejtovati automatski
i potreban nvidia modul.
