Stuck with an external problem after I updated my Suse Linux 10.1 OS. I lost my NVidia support!!! I am in command line mode now, but I don’t have time to fix it today

[edit]
January 13, 2007

Couldn’t compile the NVidia driver due to some packaging problems. However I did manage to get back to GUI, although I now have only 1 screen, so it is harder to work, because I now have to switch windows/Desktops. Tomorrow afternoon I will get back to working on BeOS Max V4.

More work done on MaxUpdater. It is getting there. Yab has proved it self, since I loaded quite a bit of gui and it is blazing fast. (http://vbeosa.blogspot.com/2007/01/testing-performance.html)
