T would like to add that this problem existed in all - that is Milestone 1 through 8, RC1, RC2 and final GM.

*** Bug 577045 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Update

The same problem still exists in openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 2.

Update

Problem still exists with openSUSE 11.3  Milestone 3 -KDE --Platform Version 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0) "release 1".

Update

The bug remains unresolved with openSUSE 11.2 and KDE 4.3.5 updates.

per request in bug 559010 comment#14 I am adding my comment from 559010.

Same problem exits in 11.3 MS3 and latest 11.2 update with kernel 2.6.31.12-18-desktop ( which I installed to fix segmentation fault during shutdown.I see everything reported in this bug and in bug 559010. Only place incorrectly displayed version of Nvidia is im MyComputer (sysinfo). It shows nv instead of nvidia.

Before you install the proprietary drivers from Nvidia, the open source driver provided by openSUSE is " nv ". It has no version number. 

After, you install/compile the Nvidia drivers in ther kernel, My Computer or sysinfo should always show the driver version number in the "Driver field". 

The Driver field should only accept a number string NOT a character string.


In reinstalled openSUSE 11.1 and it shows the correct way under Display Info.

Yes I'm aware of this. MyComputer shows nv even though the Nvidia drivers are installed and working. On my 11-3 it is 195-36-03 and on my 11.2 system it is 190-53. Prior to upgrade to KDE 4.4.1 both showed nvidia, now they show nv, but hardware info and installed drivers show nvidia versions. Here is what mycompter shows:

  Vendor:  nVidia Corporation
  Model:   GeForce 8400 GS (0x0404)
  Driver:  nv

Here is YaST hardware info:

138: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_404'
  info.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation'
  pci.product = 'G84 [GeForce 8400 GS]'
  pci.subsys_vendor = 'eVga.com. Corp.'
  linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2)
  linux.subsystem = 'pci'
  info.subsystem = 'pci'
  info.product = 'G84 [GeForce 8400 GS]'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_404'
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0'
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_29e1'
  pci.linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0'
  info.linux.driver = 'nvidia'
  pci.product_id = 1028 (0x404)
  pci.vendor_id = 4318 (0x10de)
  pci.subsys_product_id = 51000 (0xc738)
  pci.subsys_vendor_id = 14402 (0x3842)
  pci.device_class = 3 (0x3)
  pci.device_subclass = 0 (0x0)
  pci.device_protocol = 0 (0x0)
  pci.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation'

Russ,
Thanks for the info. Hopefully, they will be able to resolve this for 11.3

Update

The bug remains unresolved with openSUSE 11.3  Milestone 4 -KDE --Platform Version
4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1) "release 2"

It remains in openSUSE 11.3 MS4 with KDE 4.4.1 release 228 and in openSUSE 11.2 (2.6.31.12-18-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-05 10:12:29 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)with KDE 4.4.1 release 227. My Nvidia drivers are both installed the hardway. No errors on install.

Roman: this bug is fixed by the changes that Rafal made and discussed on the opensuse-kde list, and we are waiting for him to submit the updated packages, right?

I've updated the kio_sysinfo snapshot in KKFD's kdebase4-openSUSE for the 3d driver version fix.

I helped Rafal with the testing of the kio_sysinfo snapshot. The file is dated April 23, 2010, kio_sysinfo version 11.2-30.1 Build Time: Fri 23 Apr 2010 09:04:41 AM EDT.

So, I can safely say that since updating to Platform Version 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) "release 245", sysinfo is now working.

appears solved but I have question about whats displayed. My Computer now shows:

Vendor:  nVidia Corporation
  Model:  GeForce 8400 GS (0x0404)
  2D driver:  nv
  3D driver:  NVIDIA 190.53

Hardware info only shows nvidia driver. Nvidia X Server settings shows Nvidia 190-53 running. Is the My Computer now showing what drivers are available and not really whats in use?

This info is from my 11.2 after update from factory today. 

Will test on 11.3 M5 if update is in factory.

The 2D driver is the default 'nv' driver provided by openSUSE which only provides 2D support. This is the driver that is 'in use' after we install the openSUSE OS.

The 3D driver filed will shows the Version of Mesa installed.

After, the Nvidia driver is installed by 'rpm' or compiled into the kernel, the 3D driver field shows the driver 'in use'. It will always show the company brand name followed by the driver version number.

You can confirm this by starting up KInfoCenter --click on OpenGL.

I would recommend checking 11.3 M6  -- April 29, 2010

Update - please reopen

After installing openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 6 Build 577 x86_64

This bug report has nothing to do with crash. Please keep discussion in bug #600902 for crash issue.

Agreed.

Actually it's quite impossible that you use "nv" and closed source NVIDIA driver at the same time. I forgot to respect info about unloading modules while parsing Xorg.0.log.

Should be fixed in svn.

You should see "nvidia" as 2D driver when using closed source driver.
