    Nvidia driver?

    Hi. I was wondering if there was a way to show 3d graphics using an nvidia graphics driver. I know it works on fedora core 5, but how do you do it on SuSe 10.1?

    You need to install those in YAST : kernel-source, gcc and make.

    Also, there is another way to install the drivers, as explained by techieMoe :

    first make sure u set the installation source to DVD..or CD dunno the exact CD number
    then
    goto YaST > Software management > and check if kernel-sources,make and gcc are installed...if u dont see a tick then tick and install it from the DVD/CD...

    I got it working, but every now and then, the screen will pause briefly on some of my screen savers. It didn't do this on fedora. I will continue using SuSe anyway, because it happens so little like once every 5 hours.

    Edit:
    I restarted and it stopped pausing.
