I have an ASUS N76VZ laptop with 12.2 openSUSE and GeForce GT650M card. I found that KDE doesn't allow me to use OpenGL rendering. I tried to install nVidia's driver from script but once it writes the xorg.conf file I'm unable to boot desktop. I have the following errors in system log

Oct 30 08:28:13 RAYNOR kdm[2727]: X server died during startup
Oct 30 08:28:13 RAYNOR kdm[2727]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled

I noticed that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf backup file was empty, so I renamed the new xorg.conf and left none: the desktop booted!!!

How can I fix OpenGL rendering with or without driver installation?
