I have seen many times here that "Never mind, 3D is REALLY ON, but the system lies, trust me". So, is there a sure-fire way to verify that nvidia 3D is really ON?
Run "glxinfo" as your regular user in a shell, and look for the line that says
Direct Rendering
It should say "Yes" if things are working. In the output you should also see various references to "NVIDIA Corporation"
HI Anders,
I looked at the fetchnvidia.sh file and found:
/usr/X11R6/bin/usr/X11R6/bin/xsload -vendor | grep -q "nvidia:NVIDIA Corporation" if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "NVIDIA driver already installed!" exit 0
fi"
and ran the xload -vendor part. it found:
"nvidia:X.Org Foundation"
Hmmmmm, maybe I try actually running fetchnvidia.sh and see what happens. Hi Anders,
NVIDIA driver site is now completing the d/l so the bert thing is to wait till later. Thanks for your great help. I you want a Letter of Recommendation" I would be happy to write one.
