Hi, Everything is explained in the nvidia readme, you can't configure your Nvidia card witn SaX2 or with YaST2. In order to see if 3D is enabled run : "glxinfo" and look if rendering is enabled. You can too run "glxgears" and see what is the speed. Michel.
Hello, I have x86_64 machine with 4G memory and nvidia 6600GT card. The online update actually installed the latest nvidia driver on the machine without any user intervention. I was very surprised that it worked (SUSE 10 rules ;)). I tried on two other machine with same graphics card and similar hardware configuration and they all worked. By working I mean with fully 3D graphics acceleration. If your glxgears (nothing else must be running since when I run glxgears while compiling the speed drop down to around 500 fps) shows about 55000 fps, you should be ok. And of course, glxinfo will also help like Michel mentioned.

Actually you can from Sax2, IIRC the cli is sax -m 0=nvidia.
In order to see if 3D is enabled run : "glxinfo" and look if rendering is enabled.
You'll see whether or not 3d is enabled in Sax2.
You can too run "glxgears" and see what is the speed.

Hi Frédéric, I could be wrong, but I somehow recall reading several times on this list recently that YaST will *not* show 3D as active even though it actually /is/ active and that you should check your framerate with glxgears to see if it is, in fact, working. regards, Carl

I had a kernel update lately and had to dig out this info for myself. change run level to 3 (init 3 from a root terminal) sax2 -m 0=nvidia. You see that the 3d is not x'ed out in red and should be able to set up the resolution etc. Look at the rest of the config's checking your keyboard and mouse sections to ensure that they match what you have on your system. Init 5 will return you to a full x session.
