[SOLVED] is my nvidia driver working fine? what's the standard procedure

portia · 05-03-2011, 03:23 PM

Slackware 64 13.37

The nvidia binary installer created xorg.conf

I added the following section:

Code:

Section "Module"
        Load "glx"
EndSection

glxgears (small window)
39914 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7982.791 FPS
maximised window (24" monitor)
20885 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4175.335 FPS

glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7600 GT/PCI/SSE2

I don't have any problems. I just wanted to know if there's anything else I need to do to configure nvidia binary driver.

Seems you are fine.

Thanks but the url doesn't load. It keeps connecting.

Try again, it's hosted off a very poor ADSL connection that I'm currently using :P

Or there's always the google cache.

Also just remembered I need to update it for 13.37 cause stripping the input sections from the nvidia default xorg.conf is no longer necessary.

Still no luck.

Don't worry about the URL. Your drivers are fine.

Sorry, my bad. Just realised the probably cause for you not being able to get the page.

Every week iptables is updated to deny all IPs in the following country ranges:

Well, I'm not in one of them.
