I have just spent the last frickin' weekend trying to get the PNY Geforce 6600 GT to work with SuSE 9.2 . Everytime I try to install it reverts to framebuffer without 3D support and half the time I get the system into such a f'd up state that I have to do a clean reinstall to try and get back to a state where I get any form of video at all (using an Apple 23" which seems to be fairly picky and motivated my move from my old 5700 LE card).
If I try and follow Nvidia's instructions (foregoing the SuSE auto-update which don't seem to work) it claims that rivafb is already installed as a kernal module which may conflicts.
So sorry for the off-topic rant. However, in the context of this article, if the average bone-head linux user (like myself) can't get 3D support that pretty much sums up the state of linux games for the non-elite.
