I have an nVidia Corporation GeForce 6800 GT graphics card. I recall reading somewhere there were problems with some nVidia cards an SuSE 10. I really don't understand what I get from the nVidia proprietary software that is installed by the YaST script. Do I need the xorg-x11-server-glx-6.8.2-100.i586.rpm? Would it make any difference if it were installed or not?
The reason I asked is that I just built OpenSceneGraph and when I ran it I got this message:
Warning: Producer::RenderSurface, under the X11 environment has tested the glXWaitVideoSyncSGI extension and found it to not be working properly. This does not necessarily mean that glXSwapBuffers will not block on VSYNC, but it does mean that the CPU bound application will not be able to synchronize with the graphics video retrace signal. Most operations will work fine.
Steven, I have one of those... the nvida driver adds some version of 3d control that most programs that do POVRAY ,or similar proggies , need.. you can use the one in the Yast online update menu ( somewhere near the bottom of the list ) and stuff just stops bitching.. I didn't go thru the build your own because stuff stopped bitchin at me when I used the one YOU had on offer.. <shrug> OF course YMMV ;-D -- j Morning, Evolution in action. only the grumpy will survive
