Bugzilla – Bug 325549
3D-Acceleration not activated
Last modified: 2007-09-24 20:47:29 UTC
With NVidia GeForce 2 MX-400 graphic card, after intalling NVidia driver version 9.631 (or 9.639), running sax2 and rebooting computer, 3D-acceleration is not activated. With openSUSE 10.2, same graphic card and diver, 3D-accelaration is activated and fuctions perfectly. I can have shading, 3D-Wurfel desktop and there is a signifacnt performance boost when using openSUSE 10.2. What is stopping openSUSE 10.3 from using 3D-accelration with this graphic card and driver combination? Thanks, Simon Lewis
whatever it is, it's no blocker. 10.2 had a different xorg version, so it's not unlikely the driver is not adapted
as soon as the binary nvidia driver is installed correctly 3D is always on. The driver activates it without any configuration. To deactivated 3D one need to uninstall the driver :) Anyway it's for sure not a configuration problem Stefan, could you check the driver issue ? Thanks
How did you install the driver? Please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Thanks.
I have the same problem with my geforce 6200 card, the nvidia compile is no problem, but when starting sax2 and choose "change configuration", it says "no 3D chip support found". That is not correct of course. Now i have only 2D. 3Ddiag looks like this; 3Ddiag version 0.740 Verifying 3D configuration: Using 3dinfo ************************************************************ ================================================================ No 3D capable graphic chipset found! ================================================================ Checking GL/GLU/glut runtime configuration: GL/GLU ... done (package Mesa) glut ... done (package freeglut)

I can't see any real problem here. Just the RPMs for openSUSE 10.3 do not exist yet. Therefore SaX2/3dinfo does not know about the 3D capability yet. This is just a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 298118 ***
Oke, thanks, i just have to wait for the RPM drivers.....
Not really, everything works fine according to your X logfile. Just some misleading information you get from 3dinfo/SaX2, when the driver is installed manually.
I understand it.... The 3d screensaver looks fine :) Thanks Stefan.
If I may add again - On suse 10.3 beta2 Nvidia drivers worked, and on suse 10.3 beta3 stopped working. I will try again with 10.3 RC1 and the new Nvidia 100.14.19, which came out on Sep 18, and file another bug report if it won't work. Please don't deliver a product with broken nvidia support. Having to download it separately is more than enough tourture for our customers. If you don't care about thrid party applications, think about your internal development efforts - why did Novel invest in Compiz develpment, if it won't work on 10.3? Also, in my opinion, the status of nvidia related bugs should be Wontfix, not Resolved. As nothing has been done and it does not work and there is no workaround.

The new bugreport will be closed as duplicate as well. Could you please stop pestering me? This is beta testing. Not product testing. This issue simply cannot be done before the master is done.
I am glad to report that Nvidia driver 100.14.19 can be installed and works on SUSE 10.3 RC1. You or nvidia must have done someting to make it work. Thanks. > Could you please stop pestering me? No problem, today I have filed my last bug reports. If you percieve bug reports as pestering, then I am just wasting my time.
