Redhat 9 and NVIDIA driver
 

I recently installed redhat 9 on 2 of my systems and am having problems getting the NVIDIA driver working correctly. I downloaded the latest driver from their site, installed it and now I get about 0.5 fps in glxgears.

What I cant figure out is I have installed this driver many times before with no problems, is their an issue with the new NVIDIA driver?

youi have to erase on the XF86Config file
load module "dri"
and
load module "glcore"
the last one is not usually there but you never know

glxgears
 

I too have RH9 , using nvidia driver...
I believe the previous post likely is the answer.
I found the README and it makes those direct suggestions.

I'm running glxgears at +1800 FPS
I guess that's good.
:Pengy:

Re: glxgears
 

can i just ask what card do you have for 1800 FPS

I have done this on both machines, what I cant figure out is I have installed this driver many times before and had no problems, the only difference I can find is NVIDIA seems to have a new driver 5xxx, instead of the 4xxx I had used in the past. It seems I have read somewhere that my openGL libraries might not be linked correctly and it is trying to use the old libraries??...

qhat i heard about the 5xxx drivers is that they have some problems if you have VIA chipsets on you mobo

That must be it. I still had a copy of 4xxx and installed that and all is well.
