Ok first, yes you should go ahead and dl the nvidia driver from the nvidia site, then of course Chmod it to executable and that sort of thing, then also dl the readme and follow it CAREFULLY You shouldn't have any big problems (if you do we've all been there and can help) I've found the new 66.29 driver to be fairly reliable...Just remember that once you have the new driver installed and do sax2 -m 0=nvidia and restart xwindows that as long As the nvidia module loads 3d is enabled whether its marked in the yast display properties or not
LeRoy, thanks for this reply. Please clarify -- I am just a beginner: 1) "Chmod it to executable..." What does that mean? 2) "... and that sort of thing..." This is so open-ended I have no idea what to look for or what to do. 3) Is the Nvidia driver you're saying I should download **different** than the one I get with the YaST on-line update? Thanks again. ;o) Gil
