Will try tonight and give feedback. Actually I have not even looked at the 3d Effect. How would I check that it is working? Switching between desktops? -----Original Message----- From: Clayton [mailto:smaug42@gmail.com] Sent: 16 April 2008 11:50 AM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] Noob 3d Desktop
Sorry to say but I don't have the version number with me. I can tell you that it did modify the xorg.conf as it asked me if I wanted to make backup which I let it do. I will check the file tonight and let you know. When I looked at this link http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html I did not find the 8600 GT listed there.
Well... I have an 8600GT and it works perfectly using the nVidia binary drivers. I have a feeling it is something small :-) Have you tested that OpenGL works? eg open a terminal and run glxgears. Do you get a smooth animation? The fps (although NOT an accurate fps value) should be around 8000 with a properly configured 8600GT if you leave the glxgears window at its default size. In older versions of the nVidia drivers, the 3D thing was inaccurately reported as not working by SAX2 although it was actually working fine. I haven't ran SAX2 in a long time though.. not since nVidia started providing the nvidia-settings tool... so I don't know if SAX2 still reports 3D as disabled even though it is actually enabled.
