Here is what I have done a couple of times and it seems to work. Download the NVIDIA Kernel and NVIDIA GLX via Yast2 and let it install them. Reboot the machine and login at run level 3 root. Run Sax2 and setup the video. In the section on the video, there is a load module section. Select the DRI and GLX. After leaving Sax2 while still in root, execute switch2nvidia_glx Then startx. You can run gears and see what your frame rate is. It will also tell you on the konsole window if the Nvidial GLX has loaded. I get 85 FPS at 1600 X 1200 with gears at full screen on my laptop.

Hi . sorry i lost my notes and cant remember how to do this.
I know there was a problem simply using yast2 to enable 3d. last time i was met with a blank screen and frozen system.
The drivers are installed. should i update them and then manually edit xf86config? its a geforce2 64 ti on a viewsonic monitor, but i have vesa
generic as it runs well this way.
i think my earlier problem was in selecting viewsonic and then manually
entering horiz. and vert. freq. I now have vesa gen. with the proper config.
im hesitant to enable 3d as i dont want a unbootable system. thanks in advance.
