Help! first time user installing driver

Visti · January 21, 2007

Hi! I've just installed my Mandriva and I noticed that there's no hardware acceleration, so I figured I needed a driver for my graphics card. Now, I have no previous experience in linux, so I'm a little stumped. I went to Nvidia.com and got both drivers (Legacy and the other on), both of which are now sitting on my desktop.

I try installing them using sh -filename- , but get a message that I have to exit my X session - How would I do this and is it really needed? And is it likely to work then? I'm running a 6600GT.

Is there anything more I need to do? It requested binutils at first and I got that through RPM, but I'm stuck again now.

Have a look at this from the FAQs:

I tried that, but when I get to the "vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" step, I just get a blank file.. What do I do then?

daniewicz · January 21, 2007

You must have a xorg.conf file somewhere on your system?

I tried that, but when I get to the "vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" step, I just get a blank file.. What do I do then?

Are you sure you have written exactly like that? With all spaces and slashes?

What gives

ls -la /etc/X11/

?

It gives me this output:

I see that you have xorg.conf there so

vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

shall open the file for you... make sure you have written it correctly.

As I edited in the last post it works now and my computer detects the NVIDIA card and does a small NVIDIA splash at boot and allows me to change resolutions and enable Compiz 3d desktop - However, 3d acceleration is still not enabled.. Is there a simple on/off switch for this?

daniewicz · January 21, 2007

However, 3d acceleration is still not enabled

How do you know this?

Direct Rendering (3D Hardware Acceleration) can be checked by running the command "glxinfo"

If direct rendering is enabled you will see the following:

direct rendering: Yes

Visti · January 21, 2007

In "Setup up your graphical desktop" in configuration it says 3D Hardware Acceleration: No and sure enough, I also get a no in Direct Rendering in "Glxinfo"...

daniewicz · January 21, 2007

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*

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/libGL.so.1.0.XXXX /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1

glxinfo should indicate that direct rendering is ON

These are the outputs I get:

I don't suppose that it's good when they're lined in red, is it? I tried replacing them with what you put, but still no go..

Here's my 'glxinfo' just for good measure:

I don't see any red in the post :unsure:

It looks like you are missing the following:

libGL.so.1.0.XXXX

libGLcore.so.1.0.XXXX

Are there any errors listed in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages?

The filenames are marked with red in the terminal..

This is Xorg.0.log;
