I’m trying to run some games and applications like Office 2010 (for school) with wine but there are still some problems. I’ve installed wine 1.5.25 and I’m trying to run Diablo III. The game starts just fine but my colors are all messed up. I’ve already installed the nvidia drivers from the openSUSE website for my GTX 560 but still… Is there a way I can fix this?
When I start Steam, it gives me an error saying OpenGL GLX direct rendering is not enabled. When I open the nvidia settings panel, it says: direct rendering: No.
But how can I enable this? I’ve got the nvidia 310.44 drivers installed.
Have you installed all the latest online updates? One of yesterday’s updates is supposed to fix a color error on NVIDIA cards.

Are you sure your nvidia driver is working correctly? If you are using a fresh openSUSE 12.3 install, you have to manually add your user to the “video” group to make 3D acceleration work. See the Release Notes, chapter 2.3.
Thank you very much for the “video” tip – I was struggling with slow NVIDIA proprietary drivers too! I’ve also came from Ubuntu, so, I guess, it’s time to forget the Ubuntu past and start reading docs
By the way, maybe you could give me a hint on how to remove the NVIDIA drivers and revert to nouveau? Just in case…
So my suggestion is if you don’t intend on sticking with the nVIDIA proprietary video drivers, don’t head down that road to begin with and stick with the open source nouveau one instead. In general terms to uninstall your would:
Uninstall the nVIDIA proprietary video driver, either manually or from YaST.
Remove the nomodeset command from Grub 2 default config and regenerate the Grub 2 menu without the nomodeset command being used.
Make sure to revert the NO_KMS_IN_INITRD to NO from /etc/systemconfig using YaST and allow intrd to be recreated using KMS.
Remove the blacklist of the open source nouveau driver .
Not sure of anything else except prayer and good luck. I can admit to having reloaded before when I could not get it back to normal. I will also add that done right, the nVIDIA proprietary video driver is faster and in general looks better. Its problem is being knocked off the post with kernel and other upgrades that come with normal usage of openSUSE.
