@Tiddy

The link below shows that the card works properly in SuSE 10.2...

What you should have done, was select the debugpkg for your arch/kernel.
to fullfill dependencies, kerneldebugpkg would be advised.
After installing those, (4 pkgs), all would have worked fine....
But I guess its too late now..

will show that all these cards are supported...

That card is a 9550 (or my skills of reading blurred jpegs are going), but I imagine it would work just the same. Oh well.

The one you use is a 9250, is it also with a secundary?
If this is a fact, the drivers are the same, and should work all the same..
But I must say that i was pissed off, that it took so long,(nvidia is allready standard installed to make compiz and beryl work) but now i am glad i did not throw away the card.
The games run just fine now.. ;-)

I just had that card and the on-board graphics.
Does anyone know where I can get cheap (not more than £50) Nvidia PCI (not pci-e) cards with 128MB+ of memory?
