Does anyone know what to do to get 3d graphics support for SuSE 9?
You could run SuSE Online Update, one of the optional (as in not already been ticked) components should be the Nvidia Drivers, this may only appear if you are using the "nv" driver in your Xfree86 config. Which if you had the Gforce board when you installed 9.0 will be the case.
This will take you up to a less recent version of the drivers, download the other SuSE patches from online update. Restarting X should now result in a nvidia splash screen as X starts. Hardware 3D should be working now.
Once you have installed the Nvidia update, get the nvidia installer http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-5328 From a terminal drop to runlevel 3 with "init 3" typed as root Making sure you are still connected to the internet, run the installer.
Depending on whether or not you have installed the updated kernel that SuSE offers, the installer will either install the correct package or recompile it for your system (note SuSE 9 does not default install with a compiler so you may get an error here)
Once complete run "init 5" to start X
