[tlinux-users:02755] nvidia geforce4 440 on suse 7.3
09/07/2002

After a hard and "hot" time with satellite 1905 S301, with unwanted shutdowns, I changed to satellite 5105-S501 with Mobile Pentium 4 1.7 MHz, that seems to be a better machine. The problem now is that suse's sax2 X11 wizard does not recognize this nvidia geforce4 440 and the best I can get is 800 x 600 resolution. I am using suse 7.3.

Thanks in advance for any help

I have a 5105-s501 and think it's great. You made a fine choice.

I think you will find SuSE RPMs for the nVidia kernel drivers and the
nVidia GLX drivers at www.nvidia.com. I don't know if the exact ones
you need are available, but it's worth checking. I think there are 5 or
6 versions for SuSE.

I use the nVidia drivers on my Libranet system (Debian Woody++) and they
work very well at 1600x1200 and 1400x1050. I am not a gamer, but have
played TuxRacer just to test the performance. It's great!!

Hope that helps,
