Hi,

I got DSL 2.4 and first installed the nvidia.dsl, and: no 3d support...(well i guess the dsl is based on the x-nv driver)

ok, i tried then nvidia2.dsl, doesn't seem to have 3d support either?
Is this one also based on the x-nv driver?

Well since i want to use cedega with DSL (cedega itself works (+ wget)) i would need 3d support. The way i installed the original nvidia (propriety) driver in suse linux doesn't work in DSL (install says: (no precompiled kernel interfaces) and the inits seem not to fit) Does anybody know how to install that driver?

For the protocol I got a geforce 6600, on a nforce4 board with an athlon64 3200.

Is my question too dumb, too irrelevant, not easily answered, or did actually nobody really try to to do the same as me? :)

Sounds like you have a pretty powerful, modern system.
I'm guessing nobody has tried to do the same as you.
However, keep at it, maybe you can figure it out and help someone else! :)

you have to have the xfree.dsl installed and configured along with the nvidia.dsl to get 3D acceleration. I have no idea if the nvidia.dsl in the repo supports that card or not. If I remember correctly, the nvidia2.dsl is compiled for an older version of DSL that had the 2.4.31 kernel. Make sure you read the info files for each item in the repo.

Good luck

Chris
