3d Acceleration problem

mattjohnstone22 · 01-19-2007, 12:24 PM

Hi,

I have just installed Suse 10.2. Everything seems to be working fine apart from I cannot enable the 3d Acceleration. The box is there to tick, but it has been grayed out.

My card has been recognized fine (Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT), and as far as I am aware all the drivers were selected from YOU during the update on installation.

Any ideas?

And as far as I'm aware, SuSE doesn't include propietary drivers, like the one you need from nVidia.
You must download the lastest (v. 97.46 right now) nVidia drivers and install them from a console (without X running), just execute the .run file and update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file properly or let the installer do it.
