(But that is getting into openSUSE territory and not really applicable to e-users discussion.) Now that I remember, I had a similar situation on a different machine with Arch linux a year or so ago. That machine had a NVIDIA GeForce GTX570 card. I have just lived with the software rendering on that machine without any noticeable difference maybe due to it having an intel i7 processor. No updates on NVIDIA or enlightenment and the ELF libraries has helped since then and the downgrade would have meant also downgrading the kernel so I just let it go. It may just need to be re-installed to get it all sorted out and I just have not wanted to try that yet. :-) The machine in question now only has an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ and is getting a little old. I will try updating openSUSE to the next version to see how that goes. Thank you very much for your help.
