3D Acceleration is not present, even though I installed their drivers
 

Well, I am mastering Linux well and I am stil learning a lot.

Well, I Went to Yast Online Update (YOU) and I downloaded the Nvidia drivers. Now, I hope they installed, because I am preety sure they did.

I reastarted my PC and 3D acceleration is still not available.

I know my card supports it because any AGP card has (Well most have) 3D acceleration.

But, my card is a Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 4000 from ASUStek, if this helps...

The best thing to do is to download the nVidia drivers from their web site, at nvidia dot com. You can find both the 32bit and 64 bit drivers there, depending on your hardware configuration.

Be SURE to make a backup of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or XF86config, depending on what you're using), file first. The nVidia installer will make changes/overwrite what you have, and it's best to have a backup. Also, before running the installer, be sure you have the kernel-source package loaded for your distro. That way, if there isn't a pre-compiled one already in the installer, you'll have the option of a custom-built one for your kernel.

Your screen driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file should be "nvidia" after you're done, not the "nv" driver you may be using now.

Run lsmod as root as well and make sure the module "nvidia" is loaded.

Well, I downloaded it, but I need to exitX terminal...meaning Go to verbose mode. Now, I am very used in Win98 to just do:

Start>Shut Down>Exit to DOS

But here...err...how?

I'm sorry, but I am one heck of a newbie at device install.

Well that depends, what window manager you using, kde gnome? And are you running kdm or gdm (does X windows start when you boot the machine). If x starts when you boot the machine you have to go to like menu exit session or something like that. You can open a konsole and killall -9 kdm and gdm and then hit cntl-alt-backspace to to kill too.

As root, type in either "init S", "init s", or "init -s", your choice.

You should then drop to single-user mode, at a "#" prompt, console only. From there, you should be ready to go.
