I'm probably missing a long discussion as I just subscribed to the list: (I was out on an adventure trying different distros and broke my mail) However, I'm kind of stuck on one element of the NVIDIA video card problem: According to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/nvidia-installer-HOWTO I should download kernel sources and the like to install the driver. That didn't work at all. Then I hit the SuSE database and found another entry where you just manually select the fetchnvidia driver package and reboot (I never heard of rebooting a Linux box, but OK) Now, how do I verify if I really do have 3D support? SAX2 says I don't have it. Do I? The FTP site said to ignore the 3D errors I would get.... Since the fTP site directions didn't work 100% I'm less than confident.
