I have a Sony VPCF1 laptop that has an Nvidia GeForce GT 425M/PCI/SSE2 chip set. The proprietary Nvidia driver (NVIDIA 260.19.36) loads and runs. But I do not get direct rendering. I do not see messages in the X server log saying it was disabled, but glxinfo says it is disabled, and I cannot get desktop effects. And programs like the LLNL VisIt application run dog slow. I am not sure where to start. Select parts of glxinfo are: server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.4 client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI client glx version string: 1.4 OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 425M/PCI/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1.2 NVIDIA 260.19.36) Could it be the client glx part that is wrong? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
