[05-11-07 13:52]: Having been unsuccessful with my ATI Radeon card, I treated myself to an nVidia 7600 graphics card. I've added the download.nvidia repository and installed the drivers, but running glxgears gives the following
:~> glxgears
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". 1074 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.689 FPS 1221 frames in 5.0 seconds = 244.026 FPS 1221 frames in 5.0 seconds = 244.039 FPS 1221 frames in 5.0 seconds = 244.031 FPS 1221 frames in 5.0 seconds = 244.034 FPS
I'm sure it should do better than that, and I'm not sure what to do about that missing extension :(
Any suggestions, please?
sounds like it is using the provided 'nv' instead of the new nvidia driver. btw, which version did you install? I am successfully using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.03-pkg2.run
do from command-line: glxinfo | grep direct you should get: direct rendering: Yes
No, I get direct rendering: No
if not, do from command-line: grep -i nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it returns nv and not nvidia,
and this gives me ~> grep -i nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder26) Thu Nov 9 17:55:59 PST 2006 Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA"
as root from a console in runlevel 3, run either: nvidia-xconfig or sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
so I fall between two stools. It's nearly midnight here, so I'm off to bed. Thanks for your input, Patrick. Bob -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
