Hi Silviu, Thanks for the info - direct rendering = YES! So I guess that glxgears will always load the CPU, even if the Nvidia drivers are installed correctly? Or is there something else that I need to check? E.g. hardware accelerated OpenGL? Cheers, Jon. Silviu Marin-Caea wrote:

What is the definitive test for whether things are installed and running correctly? How do I "switch" the system such that it uses NVidia's glx rather than Mesa/freeglut?
KDE Lauch/System/Monitor/OpenGL or corresponding menu entry in Gnome.
or run "glxinfo" as root and see if you have "direct rendering Yes"
