A. SuSE Linux 9.0
-----------------

1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means
installing the 'kernel-source' package with YaST2.

2) Use the nvidia installer.

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run

3) Save the binary-part of nvidia kernel module, so the nvidia kernel
module can be re-linked during a kernel update and therefore the
nvidia driver installation will survive a future kernel update as
well.

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --extract-only
cp NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2/usr/src/nv/nv-kernel.o \
/lib/modules/scripts/nvidia/nv-kernel.o-1.0-4496

4) Enable 3D support with SaX2.
--------------------------------------------------

i did all this and will not let me finish the install give me errors any help please this cmd give me error NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --extract-only command not found !
here is the url... http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...-4496-pkg2.run

i dont know whats changed in suse 9.0, but i believe that the nvidia drivers are installed as a separate package. in the initial install you should search for 'nvidia' in yast's package manager and install the nvidia drivers package.
