However, it/they function OK if you only use 2D. (ie, having "nv"
and not "nvidia" in the XF86Config file).
But then you're not using nvidia's drivers. Then you're using the attempted open source implementation, which - frankly - sucks
I found as a 'newbie' that the advice i got was confusing and even contradictory at times, as to how to update the NVidia drivers, using the NV site and the Suse site (binaries, rpms, 2d, 3d, nv, nvidia, YOU), etc.. .. I read the very helpful list mails (like this one!) over and over, and i still messed it up when things didn't go right or simply for me. Anders you have always shown a patient and most helpful attitude where we dumb newbies are concerned and i thank you for it. BUT, I will never NEVER give one nickel to any thing that NV puts on the market. Their GD selfish stupidity cost me weeks of confusion and frustration. If Suse can't make NV and kernel upgrades simpler and easier to understand then i don't think they are much better than Gates and Windoze... I guess the main fault for me was the poor, cryptic documentation, and not much Suse help. BrianB.
