[ale] Suse 8.1 & Nvidia drivers

[Joshua Kirk]

I have the NVIDIA drivers working under SuSE 8.2 & with 3D enabled. I tried to get it to work with 8.1 and gave up. Not sure what changed that made the difference (XFree96?, Kernel?..???) but I can say that both my old Riva TNT2 and my newer GeForce work with 8.2...

PS: Have not tried TuxRacer with either though.

Does anyone have Suse 8.1 working with the Nvidia drivers.

1. I have rtfmed, but get the government runaround - nvidia says use drivers 
from Suse. Suse says download drivers from Nvidia

2. I was able to untar and install 4191 drivers AND even get the Nvidia splash 
screen, but when I try to play TuxRacer, an error message says that 3D 
support is not enabled. Attempting to enable is futile. Moreover, the system 
is not stable (locks up completely like Win) and I just re-install.

3. I have never gotten nvidia rpm drivers to work, but have used tars on RH 
7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0 successfully. Used the same techniques with Suse 
unsuccessfully. There is no Suse support for drivers to date - and I do not 
have Suse 8.2 yet. (Besides, I LOVE 8.1 - except for this driver problem - 
and their funny directory tree).
