Nvidia logo and OpenGl


Hi!!! I´m trying install a nvidia grafic card 7300gt in slackware 12.1 system and I´m using a NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1.run driver. After a sh x86-177.82-pkg1.run and Xorg-conf updating automatically I get X11, Kde, glxgears and glxinfo ok ( direct rendering = yes ). But nvidia logo is not openning during system boot. Is it a way to know DRI is enable in X ???? Must I get a kernel natively recompiled or with a modular DRE support to OpenGl 3d operations???

"glxinfo | grep direct"

Maybe you have

Option "NoLogo" "true"

in your config

Ifso, set it to

Option "NoLogo" "false"

This means that you have 3D acceleration working. Congratulations.

There isn't a Option "NoLogo" "true" under a vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf. A small part of it for

Section "Module:

# This loads the DBE extension module.
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
# This loads the font modules
# Load "type1"
# This loads the GLX module
# Load "dri"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3



In fact I don't mind nvidia Logo. The main is Opengl function. But I think if logo is openning is a way to know that Glx was correct.
Then thanks a lot!!!
