How do I get access to the Nvidia COntrol panel and

How do I do this?

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server.

I just installed the driver but don’t know how to make it work.
Man, I knew switching over to Linux would be a learning curve
but I had no idea that the easiest things in windows are so
very time consuming in linux.

Try this page for driver configuration: OpenSUSE Wiki: Configuring Drivers.

Hope that helps you out. :slight_smile:
