Do you have 3D acceleration enabled? Do this command:

Code:

glxinfo | grep direct

Grisnak · 05-16-2004, 11:53 AM

$ glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

Ok, you dont have 3D acceleration enabled. What is your video card?

Grisnak · 05-17-2004, 12:50 AM

Nvidia gforce 4 ti4600 and so the hardware browser thinks too.

Have u installed the nvidia drivers for linux yet?

Grisnak · 05-17-2004, 08:17 AM

nope.

Get this file:

http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...-5336-pkg1.run

Get out of your gui and to a console (logout, press ctrl+alt+F1 usually does it), login as root, init 3 (to kill everything off).

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run

then open up your XF86Config (usually found at /etc/X11/) and change a couple of things.

Remove this value:

Load "dri"

and under Section "device", change:

Driver "nv"
to
Driver "nvidia"

Then reboot.

Try tuxracer, post back if all is still not well.

I only get some strange message saying it wants to recompile my kernel or something

LavaDevil94 · 05-18-2004, 02:04 PM

I dont think so. Its probably asking if you want to download a precompiled module for your driver. Answer no to that, then answer yes to having it compile one for you. After the installer finishes, su to root, then do this command:

Code:

modprobe nvidia

Then exit root, then do startx &.

Grisnak · 05-18-2004, 02:25 PM

hmm ok I can try that

Grisnak · 05-23-2004, 01:25 PM

Nope didnt work! It only says something about not able to find kernel tree and that it failed!

LavaDevil94 · 05-23-2004, 04:26 PM

Do you have your kernel sources installed? Do a search for kernel-source in the RPM database.

Grisnak · 05-24-2004, 01:01 AM

Hmm I dont think so because it said there was no kernel source rpm, where can I get it??

LavaDevil94 · 05-24-2004, 03:48 PM

You sure? It should be in there... what is your kernel version? What is in /usr/src?
