The X Window System

12.3.6 Installation Support

Apart from the software rendering fallback of the DRI driver, all

OpenGL drivers in Linux are in developmental phases and are therefore

considered experimental. The drivers are included in the distribution be-

cause of the high demand for 3D hardware acceleration in Linux. Consid-

ering the experimental status of OpenGL drivers, SUSE cannot offer any

installation support for conﬁguring 3D hardware acceleration or provide

any further assistance with related problems. The basic conﬁguration of the

graphical user interface (X Window System) does not include 3D hardware

acceleration conﬁguration. If you experience problems with 3D hardware

acceleration, it is recommended to disable 3D support completely.
