Nvidia Installer HOWTO for SuSE Linux users
-------------------------------------------


This document describes how to use the new nvidia installer on SuSE
Linux to install the latest nvidia driver (1.0-4363).


NOTE: Replace the occurences of "1.0-4363" below with the appropriate
      number for later relases.


I.    SuSE Linux 8.2 with original kernel from CD/DVD
II.   SuSE Linux Desktop (SLD)
      SuSE Linux 8.2 with update kernel or self-compiled kernel
III.  SuSE Linux 7.3/8.0/8.1 with original kernel from CD/DVD
IV.   United Linux 1.0 (UL1)
      SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (SLES8)
      SuSE Linux 7.3/8.0/8.1 with update kernel or self-compiled kernel
V.    SuSE Linux 7.2
      SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 (SLES7)
VI.   SuSE Linux 7.1
VII.  SuSE Linux 7.0 or earlier

I. SuSE Linux 8.2 with original kernel from CD/DVD
--------------------------------------------------

1) Use the nvidia installer.

2) Enable 3D support with SaX2.


II. SuSE Linux Desktop (SLD)
    SuSE Linux 8.2 with update kernel or self-compiled kernel
-------------------------------------------------------------

1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means
installing the 'kernel-source' RPM with YaST2 and configure it then
with the following commands:

cp /boot/vmlinuz.config     /usr/src/linux/.config
cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h  /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig dep

2) Use the nvidia installer.

3) Enable 3D support with SaX2.


III. SuSE Linux 7.3/8.0/8.1 with original kernel from CD/DVD
------------------------------------------------------------

1) Download the according 'NVIDIA_GLX' and 'NVIDIA_kernel' RPMs from
nvidia ftp server and install these with YaST2.

2) Verify that 3D support is enabled with SaX2.


IV. United Linux 1.0 (UL1)
    SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (SLES8)
    SuSE Linux 7.3/8.0/8.1 with update kernel or self-compiled kernel
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Download the according 'NVIDIA_GLX' and 'NVIDIA_kernel' RPMs from
nvidia ftp server and install these with the following commands:

rpm --justdb -Uhv NVIDIA_kernel*.rpm
rpm -Uhv NVIDIA_GLX*.rpm

Use "ul1" packages for UL1/SLES8.

2) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means
installing the 'kernel-source' RPM with YaST2 and configure it then
with the following commands:

cp /boot/vmlinuz.config     /usr/src/linux/.config
cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h  /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig dep

3) Download nvidia installer and extract it with the following command

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --extract-only

4) Compile and install the nvidia kernel module with the following
commands:

cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363/usr/src/nv
make install
depmod -a

5) Enable 3D support with SaX2.


V. SuSE Linux 7.2
   SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 (SLES7)
-----------------------------------------

1) Download 'NVIDIA_GLX' and 'NVIDIA_kernel' RPMs for SuSE 7.3 from
nvidia ftp server and install these with the following commands:

rpm --justdb -Uhv NVIDIA_kernel*.rpm --force
rpm -Uhv NVIDIA_GLX*.rpm --force

2) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means
installing the 'kernel-source' RPM via YaST2 and configure it then
with the following commands:

cp /boot/vmlinuz.config     /usr/src/linux/.config
cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h  /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig dep

3) Download nvidia installer and extract it with the following command

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --extract-only

4) Compile and install the nvidia kernel module with the following
commands:

cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363/usr/src/nv
make install
depmod -a

5) Enable 3D support with SaX2.


VI. SuSE Linux 7.1
------------------

1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this
means installing the 'linux' RPM via YaST2 and configure it then with
the following commands:

cp /boot/vmlinuz.config     /usr/src/linux/.config
cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h  /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig dep

2) Try to use the nvidia installer.

3) Enable 3D support with SaX2.


VII. SuSE Linux 7.0 or earlier
------------------------------

The nvidia driver does not work on SuSE 7.0 or earlier as the driver
needs XFree86 4.0.1 and SuSE 7.0 comes with XFree86 4.0.
