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,
YOU says: fetchnvicia.sh downloaded
and fetchnvidia.sh "installed"
But it never says it ACTUALLY ran it!!!???
In a previous mail today you pointed out that there was a new kernel in YOU. Did you install it? If you did you need to run YOU again and get the NVIDIA driver
Yes, and yes it did the YOU get nvidia update again. All before I wrote here.
When you do, don't bother with sax2, just look at /etc/X11/XF86Config, look for a line in Section "Device" that says
Driver "nv"
and change it to
Driver "nvidia"
That should be all you need, then log out, log back in, and try glxinfo again. Incidentally, when you log out, you should see the nvidia logo flash by as X resets
I'll do that now PeterB
