BeBop:
Since you're using SuSE9 you don't have to do anything with configuration files if you don't feel comfortable with that yet. You installed the nvidia driver with YOU, but did you enable 3D acceleration? Running sax2 will give you the ability to do this without even looking at xf86 config file. You can also do this through Yast > Hardware

BTW...Onslaught is the best thing ever done to UT

Did you ever figure this out?

Ok , I have tried for a while to enable Direct Rendering but I haven't been succesful.
How can I do it ?

I would appreciate all help

Hmmm I have another Question for everyone. Not sure whether or not this is a sound card compatibility issue or just a configuration issue, anyhow I run UT2k4 and I am not getting any sound out of the game. I know I have sound because i can uses XMMS just fine. Can Anyone help me?

A little bit more info would be nice... Like what you've done so far? Video Card, drivers, etc, would be nice to know also... Help us help you better

What sound card do you have, distribution and drivers (if you have not installed any drivers, then you most probably be using the OSS-Free drivers). You may find out the driver you are using by issuing an lsmod command and see what does soundcore reports to be the driver, in the system I'm currently using, a laptop, it is:
As you can see I'm using the via82cxxx_audio driver from the OSS-Free drivers inclued with the 2.4.x kernels.

I've been having problems with my cable so i haven't been able to get online and read the forums. Thanks for the replies Thetargos, itsjustme, and milkshaw; i'm gonna try what you guys have said so far, hope it works.

Don't forget to post back!

I tried editing XFConfig86-4 and enabling it there but when I do all the steps on Dri guide and run glxinfo it just says "Direct Rendering : No"
I have Mandrake 9.2
Radeon 9600pro
XFree86 4.3.0 and Ati 3.7.0
If you need more info just say so

Errr.... did you run the fglrxconfig configuration tool from ATi drivers?

It didn' t work. I installed the file alright and changed the config file and after that rebooted, but went Iwent to go activate 3D in sax2, it said I needed to download the driver from nvidia and istall it. The driver I used was NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run

What am I doing wrong

Just a suggestion here, BeBop... You may try something like this from a console window:

• Change to root with su, open the /etc/X11/XF86Config (it may end with -4) with kedit:
  
  Code:

  #kedit /etc/X11/XF86Config

• There look for the Section "Device", and under driver change the "nv" option to "nvidia"
• Save the file, and restart your graphical session. Try to see if Direct Rendering is now operational.

This is the problem I'm getting when I install the new Nvidia drivers:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): no HorizSync values remaining
(EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device CRT-0
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

That comes about while trying to start up xwindows and all I have to do to get that error is install the new nvidia drivers and change 'nv' to 'nvidia' in the devices.

That error will go away and boot into xwindows just fine if I change it back to 'nv' though. Any ideas to what is going on?

Thetargos, i already did that, and I removed the two lines
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
Is there anything else I can do?

Virtex and BeBop, you may find more information about this problems at the Nvidia forums at

thanx for the guidence Thetargos.
