sounds like it is using the provided 'nv' instead of the new nvidia driver. btw, which version did you install? I am successfully using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.03-pkg2.run do from command-line: glxinfo | grep direct you should get: direct rendering: Yes if not, do from command-line: grep -i nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it returns nv and not nvidia, as root from a console in runlevel 3, run either: nvidia-xconfig or sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
