Last night I got the sound card issues sorted out so I went on to the 3D issues. Here is what I found. When I tried to enable compiz for the XGL Window Manager effect I was told that my 8600 GT was not found in the XGL database and 3D effect was thus not possible. It suggested that I run SAX2 and see if it could solve the problem. Well Sax did not help either. I did install the NVIDA drivers. Can anyone help me here on how to solve this problem. Is there any utils I can run to setup and diagnose my 3d Acceleration in openSuSE apart from the SaX util?

My sound card is making me mad. To be honest I would like to get into mySQL, JBoss, Tomcat and Apache at the moment but I cant work without sound. My system is dual boot. Got a nice 160GB drive just for linux. So if I need to play games I can just pop into the M$ World for a moment. Will follow up as soon as I get past the Sound Issue. Thanks for all the responses though. -----Original Message----- From: Bob S [mailto:911@sanctum.com] Sent: 17 April 2008 03:59 AM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] Noob 3d Desktop On Wednesday 16 April 2008 06:17:16 am Dave Howorth wrote: the
