    I installed the nvidia binary driver with YOU.

    It worked like a charm, it did the download, it installed the driver and
    activated OpenGL. I did zero configuration, zero effort. It was great!
    On this machine, I had previously installed kernel-source RPM, with YaST.

    On another machine, that didn't have kernel-source installed, the script
      seemed to work, but 3D could not be enabled, SaX2 said that the
    installer from nvidia needs to be run.

    So, I think that kernel-source should be a dependency for fetchnvidia.

    SUSE 9.0 Professional
    nvidia driver 4496
