I`m trying to install the nvidia drivers for geforce 2 mx200 on my linuxbox running SuSE linux 7.1. When trying to do the RPM thing I get an error message that the drivers are conflicting with Mesasoft(some numbers I can`t remember). Is mesasoft the default drivers ? I tried to do the rpm -Uvh .. but it still wouldn`t install.

Mesa is the open source implementation of openGL. The nvidia drivers have thier own implimentation so you probably need to remove the mesa packages if you can.

No, you don't need to remove them. You do, however, need to let them overwrite certain files.

Damn ... I did it :D
I just took rpm -e mesasoft (don`t know if it was a good idea, but it works) and installed the drivers. Now I can even play Quake 3 :cool:
Tnx guys
