Nvidia Problems again

[mercilessqtip]

so i managed to get the driver installed and get about 1.2+.1.6 or 7 k FPS with glxgears but when i open the sax2 menu in the yast area it says my card has no 3d support any know how to fix this too

[Kieren]

How did you install the driver? Manually or via the one click install?

I believe the NVIDIA drivers will enable 3d support by default. Are you sure your graphic card has 3D support?

[HROAdmin26]

I assume this is in relation to Compiz...

Sax2 relies on a file that lists the "known" cards. It's not uncommon to have a card not in that list (or an out-dated list.)

Suggestion: Ignore sax, or better, don't use it.

If glxinfo | grep -i rend shows the correct driver, you're fine. Enable 3 options:

nvidia-xconfig --composite
nvidia-xconfig --render-accel
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24

Restart X, ensure that Composite is enabled:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i comp

If all is OK, install Compiz Fusion using the 1-click install, then start compiz-manager.

Compiz Fusion for SuSE

ok looks like its all working well how do i configure the cube to work .. and also if the system becomes unbootable is there a way to fix it before i log into kde or gnome?..

[mercilessqtip]

i can't seem to get the cube effect its installed and says it is enabled in the compiz config tool soo im not sure what i am doing plz help he

[Kieren]

Press Ctrl+Alt and click and drag anywhere on your screen. If it's installed and set up correctly the cube should spin

[mercilessqtip]

i've set it up correctly but the spin option isnt working im on a nvidia 6200 256mb of ram card. its installed manually. i remeber in 10.2 there was a way in yast to change it over but i forgot.
and umm.. yeah. i dunno what im doing lol!
