I guess I thought it patently was installed, because a) I installed the
driver by hand - not through YAST b) I was getting 1500 FPS with
glxgears, c) I had checked in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf for the relevant
entries (driver nvidia, glx loaded etc) and d) looking at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log revealed that the nvidia module was being loaded and
used.

So why do _YOU_ think 3Ddiag isn't reporting that my nvidia driver is
installed correctly???

FYI: glxinfo reports that the direct rendering is being used, and that
the vendor is NVIDIA Corporation.

Hope you have a better one,

Jon.
