This one solved everything for me. Thanks very much! 杨波 wrote:
I think you can add the nvidia repository for 10.3(it's available now) and install the proper driver. There is a howto for 10.2. I think it's quite the same for 10.3. 1. add the nvidia repository from the community repositories in yast. 2. find nvidia in software management. And install the proper kernel module and the nvdia driver. You can determine your kernel flavor by typing uname -r in konsole or some other terminals. 3. open a shell, and run 'sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia', restart your X. 4. done

I have a laptop and I couldn't manage to use the dual monitor either (but that is possibly because I don't know how to set it up). I think I read somewhere that 3d is actually working the only thing is that it cannot be set up in gnome.

my solution:
after installing binary driver with kernel module, I'd to run
"nvidia-xconfig" as root.
then I can access "nvidia-settings" for proper resolution, etc.
Now I can enjoy the best Linux distro with full 3D and all.
thanks all,
