how to enable XGL? (could not enable 3D accelerate)
Hello. Just got a new Compaq Presario V3000 notebook. The "NVidia GeForce Go 6150" card is automatically configured by smart SuSE 10.1 installation. Check display card properties, it shows the "Enable 3D accelerate" checkbox is in gray color, that is, I cannot check this checkbox. This video card is listed as supported by XGL (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Video_Card_Support_Under_XGL#nVidia_Cards) when I go to "gnome-xgl-settings" I was told 3D is not enabled and ask me to go to enable it in SaX. As I said, the checkbox for "enable 3D" is not valid. glxgears reports about 500FPS, but I cannot tell if that means 3D accelerate or just software emulated. how can I enable 3D? Thanks for suggestions.

If nvidias driver is properly installed you should have 3D accel. Don´t bother about the checkbox in yast (enable 3D), it´s enabled nomatter what it says. Somewhere in the documentation I have read about this issue, don´t remember where though.
1) What happens if you run 'glxgears' in a shell. If it runs you have 3D enabled. 2) Read the mail archive, there have been a LARGE amount about the nvidia drievr. If you still can´t get it to run properly, please feel free to post again. Also if it works out for you, do tell it in a post. -- /Peo -- Registered Linux User #432116, get counted at http://counter.li.org www.whylinuxisbetter.net -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Thank you very much for offering this checklist to determine my problem. I believe I have nvidia driver properly installed : first by using the install source of download.nvidia.com and when it doesn't work, run the install program of nvidia to have compiled a kernel module. X starts fine.

I have glxgear runs fine, I can reach as much as 1800 FPS. (Before using nvidia driver I can reach only around 500 FPS with nv driver)
2) Read the mail archive, there have been a LARGE amount about the nvidia drievr.

SaX2 said I have Geforce Go 6150. 3D is enabled and not possible to disable (checkbox always checked). However gnome-xgl-setting display this information: Video card: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge Your video card is not in XGL's database 3D Acceleration: Disabled Desktop Effect: Disabled I was also told that I can run SaX to fix this, but actually I can do nothing in SaX (because 3D is already enabled). I also checked gentoo's xgl compatibility and it's clearly written my type of card is supported. Actually that's why I sold my old notebook to get this new one: in order to play with XGL effects. I checked XGL compatibility before I decide to purchase this notebook. I think if gentoo can run XGL on it, SuSE must be able to too.

Now I can run it! I tried this: I discovered a new command gnome-xgl-switch and I enabled XGL with this command. Reboot the computer and then xgl works! I think this should be filed as a bug: a supported brand of video card is by mistake considered not-supported and users are forbidden to activate xgl by using control center panel.

You have to install the Nvidia proprietory drivers, available from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html Follow the instructions for Suse at http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html Art
