To Suse Mailing List: Cannot Enable 3D with NVidia GeForce 5200

I just subscribed to and send this email to the Suse mailing list:

Platform:

Suse 9.2, ftp-iso install Nvidia GeForce 5200 Video card

Problem:

I am not able to Enable 3-D Configuration after installing an NVidia GeForce 5200 video card using the standard documented installation procedure.

I did the following:

1) Installed the NVidia driver via YOU Patches.

2) Used Control Center to deselect the (nv) driver and pick an NVidia driver for the GeForce 5200.

3) At that point, 3-D acceleration is already selected ( which is what the documentation tells me should happen )...

Here is the documentation:

ftp:--ftp.suse.com-pub-suse-i386-supplementary-X-XFree86-nvidia-installer-HOWTO#3

4) After finalizing the selection, I notice that 3-D is now set to Disabled! Ê (And I've gone through the process at least 3 times now ).

5) If I runglxgearsorglxinfoI see that there is no direct rendering or 3D support.

I am really hoping not to have to compile my own kernel modules.

I bought this card today after looking in the Novell-Suse hardware database list and it said specifically that it was supported "Fully" including 3D, so I'm kind of steamed !!!!
