This article mainly introduces Open Suse how to install NVIDIA graphics card driver, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!

Hardware and software environment:

1.CPU:AMD Athlon64 X25000 + AM2 (65nm)

two。 Video card: shadow 8500GTE Shadow (display chip: GeForce 8500GT)

3. Operating system: Open Suse-10.2-x86_64 (Chinese)

The installation process refers to the instructions on installing the NVIDIA graphics card driver on SUSE's official website, which is very useful. Here is the address of the English version:

After I finished the installation, I found that there is a Chinese version of this thing. But sometimes it is too slow to open, for some reason. Interested friends can look for it on the nVidia Chinese website.

Two ways to install the driver are provided in this description. Installing hardware drivers under Linux is a maddening thing, and beginners often don't know what to do, but Open Suse does a good job on this, and it's easier to install graphics drivers through its own management tool, YaST. However, my installation was not successful through this method (method 1), and * * was done using method 2.

Installation method 1:

First, upgrade the NVIDIA kernel through YOU (Yast Online Update).

Open YaST, click "Software", select "install Source", and click the "add" button. Select the protocol "HTTP" in the launch window, fill in the server name "download.nvidia.com" and the directory "/ Open Suse/10.2" on the server. This adds NVIDIA's server to the source address of the system.

Then, select YaST- > "Software"-> "Software Management", go to package management, search for the keyword "nvidia", and all the NVIDIA upgrade packages will be listed. Here I choose these two:

X11-video-nvidiaG01

Nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default

In the description on the official website, indicate that if your graphics card chip is one of the following:

0x0110 GeForce2 MX/MX 400 0x0111 GeForce2 MX 100/200 0x0112 GeForce2 Go 0x0113 Quadro2 MXR/EX/Go 0x0170 GeForce4 MX 460 0x0171 GeForce4 MX 440 0x0172 GeForce4 MX 420 0x0173 GeForce4 MX 440-SE 0x0174 GeForce4 440 Go 0x0175 GeForce4 420 Go 0x0176 GeForce4 420 Go 32M 0x0177 GeForce4 460 Go 0x0178 Quadro4 550 XGL 0x0179 GeForce4 440 Go 64M 0x017A Quadro NVS 0x017C Quadro4 500 GoGL 0x017D GeForce4 410 Go 16M 0x0181 GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X 0x0182 GeForce4 MX 440SE with AGP8X 0x0183 GeForce4 MX 420 with AGP8X 0x0185 GeForce4 MX 4000 0x0188 Quadro4 580 XGL 0x018A Quadro NVS 280 SD 0x018B Quadro4 380 XGL 0x018C Quadro NVS 50 PCI 0x01A0 GeForce2 Integrated GPU 0x01F0 GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU 0x0200 GeForce3 0x0201 GeForce3 Ti 200 0x0202 GeForce3 Ti 500 0x0203 Quadro DCC 0x0250 GeForce4 Ti 4600 0x0251 GeForce4 Ti 4400 0x0253 GeForce4 Ti 4200 0x0258 Quadro4 900 XGL 0x0259 Quadro4 750 XGL 0x025B Quadro4 700 XGL 0x0280 GeForce4 Ti 4800 0x0281 GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X 0x0282 GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE 0x0286 GeForce4 4200 Go 0x0288 Quadro4 980 XGL 0x0289 Quadro4 780 XGL 0x028C Quadro4 700 GoGL

You should select these two packages:

X11-video-nvidia

Nvidia-gfx-kmp-default

Then you can set your display by running "sax2-r". However, I failed in this method. I had no choice but to try the second one.

Installation method 2:

First of all, enter the software management of YaST, search for the software package, search for the keyword "kernel", check the package with the word "kernel-source", and install it.

Then, download the binaries used to install the NVIDIA driver, file name: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run. Download address:

Http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_100.14.19.html

The third step is to log out of the current operation and select "console login", which is necessary. If X Server is running, the driver cannot be installed. Go to the directory where you just downloaded the file and type:

Sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run-Q

Then there is to confirm the installation, agree to the agreement and so on a series of prompts, if not found "ERROR", all the way "OK", after the completion of the restart to enter the desktop system, configure desktop resolution, refresh rate, if the display is not a problem, it has been OK.

*, enter the console, enter the driver download path, and run the following command:

Sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run-K
