Hi Folks,
Since doing updates to, and fresh installs to 9.2 on systems w/ nvidia cards, I have started to doubt whether 3D Accl is really on, after d/l'ing the nvidia drivers via YOU.
Is there a really difinative way to know if the nvidia drivers are really installed??
Whenever I let YOU get, and install them, and after a re-boot, YOU >YAST
Hardware >Graphics card & monitor gives "3D Disables" and when I ask
it to enable it, a box pops open that says that "you must use YOU to get and install the nvidia drivers" and then it gives details how to RE-install them since last time. But when I do this, and then check the 3D capabilities via YOU it shows the same negative results. Loops like that forever?
I have seen many times here that "Never mind, 3D is REALLY ON, but the system lies, trust me". So, is there a sure-fire way to verify that nvidia 3D is really ON?

for a kick off have a look in /etc/X11/XF86Config or xorg.conf whicever oyu have and chech the dirver in use if it is nv NO 3D for shure if it says nvidia 3D should be on then go check what the rest tell you ... Also if you used the yast install or the fetchnvidia.sh job i found it failed BIG TIME and wound up having to complete remove all of the suse nvidia bits from the keernel tree ie the installed nvidia.ko the /lib/modules/precompiled in fact any reference to nvidia.o or .ko the run the dowloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run following the instructions on the Nvidia site .. I know there are people out there that dont agree with me but what the hell i have been running suse for too may years now to count and nvidia cards all the time apart from one diamond heap and have always managed to get nvidia 3d to behave .
