Hi, As ROOT run the following command in a terminal window: 3Ddiag, it will give you a similar output: <SNIP> kittyhawk:/home/quintond # 3Ddiag 3Ddiag version 0.397 Verifying 3D configuration: Using 3dinfo ************************************************************ Verifying 3D configuration based on XFree86 4 for 3D board "nVidia Coorporation Riva TNT (10de@0020)": Tests for package "NVIDIA_kernel": package ... done. package files ... done.

What I did notic is that in order for your machine to run in 3D Accelerated mode, your screen depth must be set to 16bit (NOT 24). This machine is running SuSE 8.0 Professional, with a Riva TNT. I did a SuSE Online Update and installed the normal Nvidia Kernel Patches. I then ran 3Ddiag and fixed any errors I found. I did this same type of process with my other machine which runs a GeForce3 Titanium 500. Regards Q On Wed, 2002-08-28 at 08:30, Ivanovich wrote:
I get the following message every time i try to run a 3D game:
3D Hardware support not available No 3D graphics card available or 3D support not configured yet (...) [continue] [abort]
The game runs perfecly just clicking continue because i installed the driver myself (NVidia pathetic driver): which had to rebuild the rpm because binary package from nvidia didnt seem to like the running kernel 2.4.18-4GB vanilla
My question is: how can i get rid of that warning message???
Some info about my system in case is needed: SuSE 8.0 KDE 3.0.3 NVdriver 1.0-2960 a.k.a. "segmentation fault" the games which this happens are bzFlag, Tuxedo, etc...
