hiho @ all,
i wanted to install a newer nvidia driver on my suse 8.1 sys, so i
downloaded:
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.suse81.i586.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.suse81.i586.rpm
$ rpm -Uvh NVIDIA_kernel.i386.rpm
$ rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX
$ rpm -ivh NVIDIA_GLX.i386.rpm
according to these commands i installed the downloaded packages, but the
x-server won't start and quits with following message:
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xDC000000
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
