How do I enable 3d acceleration?

The best idea would be to open both files and compare them. Look at your original and see the received file. I think wherever is ati, replace it

Ok here we go

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 04:02 PM

OK. next time I guess I will back up the original file. I lost my gui.

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 04:10 PM

I haven't done much so I guess just reinstall?

Would this have been the problem though (from the original file(

Actually in xconfig it list this:
Section "Device"
BusID "2:9:0"
Driver "nv"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Option "sw_cursor" "on"
Screen 0
EndSection

Section "Device"
BusID "2:9:0"
Driver "fbdev"
Identifier "Device[fbdev]"
Option "ShadowFB" "off"
Screen 0
EndSection

Section "Device"
BusID "2:9:0"
Driver "vga"
Identifier "Device[vga]"
Option "VGAClocks"
Option "KGAUniversal"
Screen 0
EndSection

Are there too many devices? I noticed just one on your file.

Maybe they were causing a conflict?

I believe it wasn't really successful

Here is another option, however. Try doing it from installation option. Reboot with install DVD. choose installation then repair installed then auto

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 04:12 PM

I will try that. The failsafe mode suxs by the way. It locked up.

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 04:16 PM

Or I sux? I am pretty new so that could be it. Not saving the original file was pretty dumb.

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 04:18 PM

Trying the repair option. Apperently I turned off the swap file? It turned it back on. So far that is the only change

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 04:23 PM

didn't work. I just installed it last night so I am not loosing much

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 04:29 PM

Should I choose to skip configure the graphics part during installation and wait until I can install the correct drivers or does that even matter

SlackerLX · 12-29-2004, 04:29 PM

Check your NVIDIA CD. They maybe included drivers for Linux

How do I shut off X server?

SlackerLX · 12-29-2004, 06:13 PM

#kdm stop

JackieBrown · 12-29-2004, 06:29 PM
