[opensuse] nviddia 3D support potential bug



Before I submit this as a bug I thought I would run it by those of you
who know something about
3D and Nvidia card configuaration.

I have a PCI-E GeFoce 6500 which reports as having 512MB of RAM.
VBIOS 05.44.02.49.00

I have installed two RPMS from NVIDIA that are Driver Version
100.14.19 Released 9/18/2007.
The drivers work properly but when I go into YaST -> Hardware ->
Graphics Card and Monitor setup it
reports back as:

3D Acceleration Not Supported
---------------------------------------------
SaX2 cannot offer activation of the 3D
subsystem because your graphics
card/driver doesn't support 3D.

However, when I try using 3D programs they are all working properly
and even glxgears
seems be doing quite well. I haven't run glxinfo as yet.

My conclusion is that YaST is simply not reporting accurately the true
state of the card.
This is the first machine I have had this happen on. I have installed
on dozens of machines
SUSE with no such issue surfacing.

Do I bug report this or am I missing something?

Cheers,
Bob
