There is an article in our support database about this.

Does it look like a server for the TNT might get integrated into a future official server? (either SuSE or XFree86) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

The TNT driver will be part of XFree 3.3.3 (SVGA-Server).

I was successful in installing this driver by using gunzip instead of tar. I must have been using the wrong tar parameters. 1) Rename the original XF86_SVGA binary to XF86_SVGA.old // Just in Case .... ~ 2) gunzip ViperDriverName 3) cp or mv resulting binaryName (to) XF86_SVGA 4) cp or mv new XF86_SVGA to original XF86_SVGA directory. Maybe I was lucky but thats all I had to do. startx worked like a charm. I havent looked at other resolutions, but the default resolution looked really nice especially KDE. Next stop -> Sound. I never was able to get that working. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
