Hello SuSE folkz, Could somebody please advise which graphic card has native GL and 3D out of the box support in SuSE 10.1 Unfortunately, I couldn't make my old nVidia GeForce2 MX 400 to work with SuSE 10.1 Many thanks in advance, Alex

With so much discussion on the list about such things, I'm surprised a question of this sort would be needed. Basically, none of the nVidia cards are supported with 3D out of the box on Linux, without installing their proprietary driver. ATI cards up to about the 9800 are supported both 2D & 3D by xorg out of the box to the computer to bootup. The 9600-9800 cards have support, but it's limited to what xorg can provide. Using ATI's driver adds functionality to those cards and above. Anything below the 9600 has good support from xorg and will work nicely. regards, Lee

If it's of any consolation, or even help, I couldn't get my nVidia GeForce 6600 GT card to work with 10.1 out of the box. But being prepared for all possibilities, I had the nVidia driver from nVidia sitting on the second HD waiting to be installed just in case something didn't go right, which it didn't :-) . When I couldn't get any "sense" out of the card on boot I rebooted into level 3 and compiled/installed the driver after which all was well with the world. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1

Hello, I've two boxes with 10.1 the main one has a GeForce 7800GTX which works fine with the latest driver I get more than 14000 /s with glxgears. The second one has a GeForce 6800 which works well too. Michel

14.000 fps? At what resolution? What kind of monitor do you have to be able to utilize that kind of fps? With my old PCI Matrox Mystique i could squeeze 100 fps if i set the box at some 50x50 pixels. But sure, at 640x480 it was down to 5 or something.. :) If you get 14 thousand fps at anything above 1024x768 i would be very surpriced... -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

please, 70 lines of quote are hardly necessary to pose a one line question. glxgears was running as it defaults, but I have generated the timings with a full screen, 1600x1200: 12:42 wahoo:~ > glxgears 959 frames in 5.0 seconds = 191.732 FPS 961 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.140 FPS 961 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.169 FPS 962 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.332 FPS 960 frames in 5.0 seconds = 191.923 FPS 963 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.538 FPS 963 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.417 FPS 964 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.621 FPS 960 frames in 5.0 seconds = 191.951 FPS 962 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.329 FPS 962 frames in 5.0 seconds = 192.386 FPS this is generated in kde with *many* other processess running at the same time. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Hello,

I've two boxes with 10.1 the main one has a GeForce 7800GTX which works fine with the latest driver I get more than 14000 /s with glxgears. The second one has a GeForce 6800 which works well too.

I never told that .... Hello, No it is not at 50x50 pixels, it is at the default resolution of glxgears which is about 300x300 pixels. My monitor is an DFP EIZO Flexcan L778 with digital and analog entries. I made some more measurements : SuSE 10.1 64 bits Digital entry : 300x300 -> 16606 fps 1280x1024 -> 3410fps 420x420 -> 14100 fps SuSE 10.1 64 bits Analog entry : 300x300 -> 16791 fps 1280x1024 -> 3383 fps SuSE 10.1 32 bits Digital entry : 300x300 -> 15710 fps 1280x1024 -> 3410fps SuSE 10.0 32 bits Digital entry : 300x300 -> 14500 fps 1280x1024 -> 2950fps but it is the former driver. So it is not 14000 fps on a 50x50 stamp. Michel.
