At a guess because it is patently NOT working.
On what do you base your assumption that it IS working? That you have openGL
screensavers?
3Ddiag would report the nvidia driver if it was used and not the dummy. I
think you may be the victim of a possible bug in Suse10 yast. My auto install
seemed sucessful but was faulty as well, when I checked /etc/Xorg.conf it did
did indeed still list nv as the driver instead of nvidia so you may need to
edit it manually even if it says only to be edited by yast/sax.
Before you start open a shell and run glxinfo : It should say YES o direct
rendering and NVIDIA Corporation as the vendor if the new driver is being
used. If not I think it gives SGI as the vendor and No for direct rendering.
The other way is to run glxgears. You will get about 1500fps for the new drv
and around 500 for the dummy (depending on your system.
