# 3Ddiag
[...]
Tests for package "xf86_glx":
  package ... failed!
================================================================
Package "xf86_glx" must be installed with YaST(2)!
================================================================
[...]

Cause:

The package xf86_glx is missing on the CDs/DVD of SuSE Linux 8.0. The international versions (1) and (2, only DVD) release of SuSE Linux 8.0 are affected!

Solution:

Please download and install the package xf86_glx via YOU (YaST Online Update). After this execute the script 'switch2xf86_glx' as user 'root', if you want to get 3D support. Verify with '3Ddiag', if 3D configuration is configured correctly.

Please note that 3D configuration is not part of our installation support.
