OK I installed the Nvidia driver
1.0-9629 for Linux x86
and 3D seems disabled but NVIDIA says ignore that in SuSE 9.0
I should have OpenGL supprt 2.1 running

The problem is the License server wont serve licences
is ths a firewall problem?

Any ideas anyone ???

Well that's what I dont get, whats the big deal with how old the video card is. Blender runs fine on that machine and it uses OpenGL too. I can understand skipping the standard API and using special drivers for speed
but ther eshould be a fall-back to allow it to run slower using some other older API. I have a windows machine that is 600mhz, so talk about slow I might try that too.

Thanks…
