I have a nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 card, and desktop effects will not work. I will enable them, but they won’t work and when I close the window and open it back up, “Enable Graphics” is unchecked again! Any idea as to the problem and/or how to solve it? Thanks!

Have you installed the nvidia driver?
How would I check for that? I’m new to Linux/SUSE
It’s not browsable 
To add the repo do this in a terminal:
su -
zypper ar -f http://http.download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.4/ nvidia
zypper ref
(a) to accept
Now close the terminal
Next open Yast > Software Management
It should all happen

I try to scavenge other forums and sites before asking for help on here, but you have been beyond super helpful. Now to begin truly enjoying and learning about the Linux experience (openSUSE being my distro of choice over Ubuntu). Thanks again mate! Cheers!
