Yesterday i installed Open SuSE 10.2 [KDE Enviorment] from PCWORLD DVD. Everything i going fine except my Graphic Adaptor. In My Computer > Display Info It says like this:
Graphic Card: VIA/S3g Unichrome Pro IGP
Vendor: VIA Technologies Inc.
Driver: Unknown
There by i'm hassling with much slow graphic effects when scrooling or opening new windows. I can't play videos. Pls help me finding and install the drivers for my card.

Why do you ask one question in more than one place. It just disturbs everything.

Sorry if it annoyed you. But i only want someone to help me by reading this topic. Coz no one has a topic made for Driver problems in linux!

There are some rules to be followed when posting in forums, mailing lists, irc channels, etc. One of them is not to ask one query in every possible place, such that it becomes haphazard and people get confused about the answers as certain parts of the answer is in one place and other part is in different place.
There have been topics on driver problems in linux.

Can you explain what you said. I mean how to start, what to check for and synetx for commands etc.

mehulved · 17-02-2007, 02:54 PM

He said , open a terminal and type 'lsmod' in it.

freebird · 17-02-2007, 04:20 PM

i mean open a terminal;
try

Code:

@ubuntu:~$ lsmod

check the output for via,drm,via_agp,agpgart modules listed.
what is happening u may be getting sluggish graphics,try for urself running "glxgears" from a terminal or use ALT+F2 for run cmd enter and run to see...
your card is seems to be better supported for 2D only;though 3D support may be a chance.
