Making sure NVIDIA DRIVER worked

zacherrin · 10-20-2004, 04:32 PM

I did the intallation and it worked correctly under root. I rebooted and the nvidia logo showed up. Everyyhing seems to be fine, but is there a way to double check to see if that driver actually is working? Reason being is i am going to try a few games out on linux(mandrake 10.1) . Is there something i should look for in the xorg.conf? here is my code tell me if you guys think its runningit, or how i can identify it. I am new so bear with me. Here is my code.

Code:

Section "Files"
    # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
    # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
    # the X server to render fonts.
    FontPath "unix/:-1"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    #DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)
    #DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)
    AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse doesn't work

start the x server on ur machine by doing startx -> it should show nvidia screen before booting into your desktop. If it does thn everything went well.

when you login to GUI, nVidia logo should come up on the screen..........
OR open a term window and type

glxgears

there will be 3 colorful gears in a small window that spin together............
