Importing NVIDIA Video Drivers into SuSE Linux 10.3 Installation

[asharmaearth411]

Does anybody know how I can integrate the latest NVIDIA Video Drivers (from nvidia.com) with my SuSE Linux 10.3 Installation? I've downloaded the drivers onto my C Drive Directory (under Windows Vista), and am trying to import those files (3 files) when I am up to the software selection page of the installation. Any help would be fine. Thanks.

You need to get the Linux drivers it is a single file!!

I finally got the GUI in SuSE Linux to work (just had to stick with the 16-bit video, and skip the hardware configuration in the installation process). However, now how do I enable 3D acceleration to take advantage of Compiz and XGL? Is there anything I need to change in my X11 config file? Also, I've installed my NVIDIA drivers, but I returning with this message: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." What should I do? I don't quite understand what the message is asking for. I thank you for your support.

AFAIK there are not 16 bit drivers in Linux

Please see the other thread you are posting to.

No no, the video mode is set to 16-bit instead of 24. If I set it to 24-bit, the O/S crashes, thus, the NVIDIA Driver is required. Also, I did the configuration in regards to error I get when I access the NVIDIA Driver manager on the X11config file, and now I am unable to access the Operating system on SuSE Linux. This is why I am asking how do I use the NVIDIA Drivers instead of the generic vesa drivers?
