tyme Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 are you using the 3ddesktop program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) Er, no. I tried to at one point and nearly trashed the system (full story over in software), so I've left it well alone since. The thing is, I was running the .8 driver before, and it was fine. ETA: this is desktop 1, so its a geforce 4 mx440 card. Edited November 9, 2006 by Dustpuppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 The last time I had this on Mandriva, it was a security setting which disabled 3D acceleration- but please allow me looking at some old notes (some 3 years old) to tell you which security setting needs relaxation to bring 3D back. I cannot do anything directly, as I don't have any Mandriva installation handy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Direct Rendering (3D Hardware Acceleration) is usually provided by the DRI extension. Not with nVidia binary drivers. Don’t load the DRI extension, instead make sure the GL library files in /usr/lib/ are the ones provided by nVidia. It should like this (XXXX is the nVidia Driver version). #> ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17 2004-10-10 21:53 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.0.XXXX lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17 2004-10-10 21:53 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.XXXX -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 423832 2004-10-09 13:42 libGL.so.1.0.XXXX -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1946800 2004-02-15 22:37 libGL.so.1.4.500 #> ls -l /usr/lib/libGLcore.so* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21 2004-10-09 13:42 libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.XXXX -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7132152 2004-10-09 13:42 libGLcore.so.1.0.XXXX #> ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2005-03-24 21:19 libGL.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.XXXX If the links are not correct replace them: #> ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.XXXX /usr/lib/libGL.so #> ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.XXXX /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 #> ln -sf /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.XXXX /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 #> ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.XXXX /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I've reset all the simlinks, and am running at "standard" security level - nothing. I've dropped down to the 8774, and although I don't get the flickering, I'm still not getting direct rendering :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I'm going to go for a re-install and hope that solves my myriad problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaopa Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hi, If you use Mandriva 2007, instead of Load "Glx" in your xorg.conf, you must write Load "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so"" And then, you could use the plf packages: ftp://ftp.univ-orleans.fr/logiciel-libre/...2007.0.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.univ-orleans.fr/logiciel-libre/...2007.0.i586.rpm Joaopa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffi Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Maybe a bit too late but I just had a similar problem where ~/dmrc prevented me from using hardware accelleration, deleting it solved the problem, eventhough xorg was set up correctly.
