Joe I just installed openSUSE 10.2 as it is and I have no idea what kind of driver for that card is installed. Unlike earlier editions of SuSE Linux, where installing the accelerated nvidia drivers was done with just a mouse click in online update, you now have to do a bit of tweaking to get them installed, using one of 2 methods. Experienced users often just download the latest linux video drivers from nvidia.com and install by hand according to the directions there, but then the nvidia driver has to be rebuilt if the kernel is ever upgraded. The other way involves adding the nvidia driver repo to your software sources - I think there are some howtos on that floating around. In either case, the nvidia driver makes a dramatic difference in the video performance. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
