caintry_boy Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Awhile back I set up a 4P AMD rig running a Supermicro H8QGL-IF+ motherboard, 4 Opteron 6000 series CPU's, 32Gb of ECC RAM, using onboard video and cooling with air.... Today I restarted the machine and no video...it has a PCI-E slot so I installed a card and booted to BIOS, made sure it was set to use the video card and saved/exited BIOS. All is good until I get to my SUSE 13.1 desktop and it looks like this: Need Nvidia repo? Card is Nvidia GTX460...mobo is here > http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8QGL-iF_.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I don't have that in my menu Terry. However opening a terminal and typing nvidia-settings brings it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell, mate, those directions had me all bollocksed until I realized that I chose "Classic Menu Style" instead of the default SUSE menu. On mine you'd click on "Configure Desktop" and then scroll down to Hardware and then Display and Monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
