opensuse 11.0 nvidia direct rendering off

Hi,

How do I turn on direct rendering in opensuse 11.0? I'm using an
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M.

glxinfo shows (sorry, had to type this in, i think this is most of the
relevant information):

direct rendering: no
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
client glx vendor string: SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3)
glu version: 1.3

hwinfo correctly identifies the card.

The machine is a Dell Precision M6300 laptop.
I'm using KDE 3.5x and the kernel version is 2.65.6-1.1-default x86_64

Thanks for your advice (assume that I haven't tried something that may
seem "basic").
I'm used to using Fedora, so I may simply be missing some
configuration tool that allows me to switch things on and off.

Thanks,

-Ben
