I reinstalled the 10.2 alpha4 x86_64 with a PS/2 mouse on a Xeon
5160/NVIDIA Quadro FX550 Dell Precision 490 workstation. During
installation, the correct WUXGA 1920x1200 resolution was set for the
display Dell 2405FPW. But the Gnome panel and Nautilus crashed
immediately and it wasn't possible to launch neihter the control center
nor other applications. Therefore I couldn't verify with Dekstop effects
if 3D was enabled to run Xgl later. KDE however worked more normal and
better.

Tested also a stable 10.1 installation. SaX2 showed only a "VESA
frambuffer" with 1280x1024 resolution available. Trying next to follow
the "Nvidia Installer Howto for Suse Linux users" which suggested an
easy YaST2 installation of nvidia. But "sax2 -r" aftewards didn't load
the nvidia driver. Even after compiling the latest
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8774-pkg2.run driver file into the kernel, SaX2
still showed only a "VESA framebuffer", though now with correct
resolution 1920x1200 for the diskplay. But 3D wasn't enabled or
available in Desktop Effects which stopped trying Xgl. It looks like
Quadro FX550 wasn't available in the database.

Therefore I wonder if NVIDIA Quadro FX550 (3D) is supported in the SaX2
database in 10.1 and next in 10.2?
