My only problem in 8.2 is getting 3D accelleration working correctly. By 
contrast, 8.1 enabled 3D right out of the box, even prompting me during 
installation whether I wanted it and then working perfectly. Well, I went 
into YaST2 and did everything there I could, then I ran sax2 and did the 
same. Finally I went into the SuSE HelpCenter and searched for 3D and found 
the article "3D and SuSE Linux" and followed it's instructions to run 3Ddiag. 
Well, as you can see below, there aren't any error messages that I can see. 
Here's the output:

Verifying 3D configuration based on XFree86 4 for 3D board
"Intel Corporation 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (8086@7121)":

Tests for package "XFree86-GLX":
  package ... done.
  package files ... done.

Tests for correct OpenGL libraries/GLX extensions:
  Symbolic Links ... done.
  /etc/sysconfig/3ddiag (SCRIPT_3D=switch2xf86_glx) ... done.

Test for correct XFree86 version ... done.

Tests for XFree86 configuration:
  Config File /etc/X11/XF86Config ... done.
  Driver ... done.
  Color Depth ... done.
  Extensions ... done.
  Options ... done.

----------------------- NOTE -----------------------------------
If 3D hardware OpenGL configuration is not stable enough, you
should switch back to 'Mesa Software Rendering'. You can
verify this configuration with the command "3Ddiag --mesasoft".
----------------------- NOTE -----------------------------------

Checking GLU/glut runtime configuration:
  GLU  ... done (package mesaglu)
  glut ... done (package mesaglut)

Just to cover all the bases, I ran the script switch2xf86_glx (as root) and 
still the 3D doesn't run correctly in games like tuxracer and tuxkart. At 
this point the play is choppy and very slow, not like a few days ago while 
running 8.1. If anyone knows what I should do next, I'd be grateful.
