I am a new Linux user. A friend helped me install OpenSUSE 13.1 on an old 32-bit computer with a GeForce 7300 LE video card.
Graphics were all screwed up until the following were installed per forum advice: nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop, x11-video-nvidiaG02, nvidia-computeG02. Graphics now working.
Then I downloaded VLC player. It loads up, but won't play anything. Kaffeine and M-player only partially work, and are unstable also. Had not tried either of these before downloading of VLC. (Kaffeine would not play anything at all until setting was changed from "auto" to "xshm".)
Any suggestions, . . . please.
