spinynorman Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 By the term "lash" do you mean remove the ' glxinfo ' and just type in grep direct with the | if not what did you mean? No, he means just run glxinfo and look for 'direct rendering'. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Ok Well I ran the ' glxinfo ' and this is what I get $ glxinfo name of display: :0.0 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

On the message that I got from running glxinfo? I couldn't find anything that says direct rendering I don't know if I was even looking in the right place or where I was supose to be looking. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual Sounds like maybe you need to install a video driver... What video card are you running? Either that or we need to fix your XF86config-4 file.

Jet2k5 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 This is what my friend is running on his computer Vendor: ?Nvidia Corporation Bus: ?PCI Bus identification: ?10de:1f0:1043:80c0 Location on the bus: ?2:0:0 Description: ?nForce2 Geforce 4 Integrated Module: ?Card:NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic) Media class: ?DISPLAY_VGA Hope this helps, I just got this from the hardware section. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 try the file found here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display...2_1.0-5336.html and follow the instructions in the README linked on that page. Basically you need to exit any grafical desktop. (log in as root... command line only) change to the directory you downloaded the file. (cd /home/downloads ) run this command sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run It should do its thing without any problems. I emphasize "should" --- Sometimes you will find yourself stuck at the command line and will need to be able to edit files with "vi" or have to run "XFdrake" to set you graffical desktop back up. Your XFree86Config-4 should have two sections that will look like this after you install: Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3D layer EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "device1" Driver "nvidia" Option "DPMS" EndSection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) Well I guess that I don't have that rendering thing, $ glxinfo |grep direct direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect How do I change it or install it so that it will say " YES " lol how did I star soo may posts..........I only had 1 running, and everyone stopped replying to it... -Luis by the way I'm at my house, on my computer, the other posts was my friend, and I got him his own name but I guess that he does not use it and keeps on using mine.

Jet2k5 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 This is what I get when I run " urpmi xscreensaver-gl " # urpmi xscreensaver-glTo satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (18 MB): chbg-1.5-8mdk.i586 fortune-mod-1.0-31mdk.i586 xscreensaver-4.14-4mdk.i586 xscreensaver-gl-4.14-4mdk.i586 Is this OK? (Y/n) y Please insert the medium named "Installation CD 4 (x86) " on device [/dev/hdc] Press Enter when ready... What I don't understand is that I have run the EASY URPMI and I believe that the contrib source is already installed, what do I do so I just add the contrib source, Or how do I test or find out which sources are and not installed? This is getting weird. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I by acciden't I ran the urpmi xscreensaver without the -gl and it installed it, but threres nothing that says matrix or anything. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 because that is a different package. xscreensaver and xscreensaver-gl are two different packages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 So what do you recommend that I do? Im just going to go buy the official version of Mandrake but I don't want to pay $370 for that power pack or what ever what is better about it? -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Go into mandrake control center and go to the software sources, and remove the CDs that you dont have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) To remove CD4 type (as root) urpmi.removemedia CD4 If you have installed the nvidia driver that should be it.

Jet2k5 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Well thanks, I followed Iphitus directions and found it my self, and I removed it. Now when I typed in # urpmi xscreensaver-gl It asked me for Cd 2 which I have! and then right now it's downloading something so Im guessing it's freaking working. Lol anyways how do I fix this rendering program thing? Or the rendering is included in the screensaver-gl package? -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
