So, what is the output of "glxgears"?

Nice running blue red and green gears!!

Andre, he meant you should launch it from a shell and report the numbers, not the colors... ;-)
Next to the running gears this is what appeared on the screen after 'glxgears'
762 frames in 5.0 seconds = 152.330 FPS 749 frames in 5.0 seconds = 149.599 FPS 611 frames in 5.0 seconds = 122.001 FPS 654 frames in 5.0 seconds = 130.662 FPS 665 frames in 5.0 seconds = 132.999 FPS 661 frames in 5.0 seconds = 132.050 FPS 661 frames in 5.0 seconds = 132.144 FPS

Those numbers are pretty poor. They should be a factor of 10 higher if you can get hardware rendering working.
In my sysinfo: nVidia Corporation GeForce2 MX 100/200 nv (no 3D-support) So I suppose that my card indeed is too old for 3D Thanks for the discussion André -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Those numbers indicate you are not using the nvidia drivers, and the sysinfo confirms it. That card should be well supported by the nvidia legacy driver, available on their website.

I'm using a similarly aged card (GeForce 2) and I found that although
there were legacy drivers for it, they didn't work with the supplied
2.6.18.2-34 (IIRC) kernel. I couldn't find an older version of the
kernel through yast2. I've since added the packman repository, so I'll
look again.

I have 3 machines, each has an nVidia MX-400 card and 2 of them work just fine with the nVidia legacy driver from nVidia's website after it is executed from run level 3 (init 3) from root. The one odd one won't compile because it can't find the kernel source. I got really pissed at that GATEWAY PIECE OF S___ and put Windows XP on it and am giving it to an enemy, As a footnote, I pulled the nVidia card out of the Gateway, put back the p.o.s. ATI Rage 128 that it came with. XP works fine on the box and Direct-X works just fine with the video card and all is right with the world and Google Earth renders it's polygons ok. Hurray for XP.
