Re: [SLE] OpenGL screen savers don't work?? Problem with Nvidia installation?

Okay - trying to get to the bottom of this. Why is it that 3Ddiag fails
to detect that I have nvidia drivers installed, when they patently are
installed, and everything 3D related is working????
Here's the output of 3Ddiag, and it's a PCI-E card. If I look with
nvidia-config it reports that I have the 8178 driver installed? So
what's up???
/etc/X11 # 3Ddiag
3Ddiag version 0.728
