SuSE had killed nvidia (ok 3d acceleration has gone!)


I was adding a few programs to my box, (gtk-devel and limewire pro) when i restarted my linux box the nVidia logo did not appear when x started, also the 3d acceleration was gone and the graphics went back to 16bit.

What has gone wrong?

here is my xorg.conf file:

Code:

What do I do to fix it? YAST is still detecting nvidia but the 3D option in SAX is greyed out!

How can i fix it?

YaST -> Hardware -> Graphics card and monitor. Click the button labled Change. That should get you to a screen in which you may enable 3d again.

ok, i have tried an older xorg.conf file, but it didn't work either, so it leads me to think that the nvidia drivers are corrupt or something, how do i resintall them in YaST?
