I use an NVidia FX5700LE card on my linux box and I get good speeds at glxgears but it never has direct rendering on.

Quote:

glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No

Most of my 3D stuff works fine except when it checks for direct rendering as some apps do. I have DRI turned on in my xorg.conf but i have no /dev/dri.

Quote:

# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
Load "dri"

I'm running.

Arch Linux 0.7
nvidia 1.0.7174-1
xorg 11R6.8.2-2
kernel26-2.6.11.7-1
udev 057-1

Thanks for any help you can offfer :D

If you're using the nvidia driver, the readme says to comment out the Load "dri" line. I don't know how it handles rendering, but there are some notes regarding rendering in the readme.

OK, i commented out the DRI line in my xorg.conf and it didn't change the direct rendering. I follow the NVidia instructions quite well. Unless there is something i have to turn on or off?

Heres my driver section, maybe theres a problem here.
