I tried to follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/nvidia/ nvidia-gfx-AMD64-HOWTO.txt but in phase 4 when compiling the patched kernel modules I get the following compiler error:

This does not look right. You're running a 32-bit kernel!

-Wno-cast-qual nv.c cc1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode make: *** [nv.o] Error 1

options missing, wrong compiler, if the latter where do i get an AMD64 version of GCC - should I bootstrap ?

You need the 64-bit SUSE Linux 9.0, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
