suse graphics problem
#1

hi,

 

I have installed suse 10 and as i am newbie dont know if I have to install graphics driver. As right now it is kind of blury and it is not the same as windows(sharp graphics)......I have the intel-via series cd for p4 pcs(but i am not sure which graphic card it is), i think it would be either nvidia or geforce is there a way to find out?

 

also when i want to play a suse's game it gives me errors anyone else has faced this kind of problem?

 

thank you

hi, :)

 

 

well since you think it's a geforce, i'll assume you know you have a geforce card in your box. so here's a guide ot installing teh nvidia proprietary drivers on suse.

[if i'm wrong, and you don't have an nvidia card]

what graphics card do you have, or is it onboard.

what exactly are these errors. (chances are they are related to the graphics drivers.)

the above line is ur graphics adapter.. u don't appear to have a graphics card plugged in.. so it'd be onboard..

 

it hasn't detected the device name or model.. that would be og great help..

but i will continue looking into it when i have some time

 

also.. the name / model of the motherboard would be of great help.. :)
