I have 7950 gt oc card in my desktop and ubuntu supports it with the nvidia drivers so I can use the special effects *cube desktop and such* but in SuSE linux it won't recognize the card even if I do install the drivers and try to enable the special effects through compiz and beryl. Would this have to do with the kernel?
