Nik123 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi all! Yesterday, I installed mandriva 2007 spring- till yesterday, I used mandriva 2007 RC2 sunna. But, there is a small problem- when I type glxgears into console, X-server restarts. I have installed mesa-demos, libmesagl1 and libmesagl1-devel. Here is my Module section of xorg.conf: Section "Module" # Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3D layer #Load "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so" EndSection I've installed already dkms-nvidia97xx-1.0-9755.2plf2007.1.i586 - my videocard is nvidia GeForce FX 5500 How to fix that problem with glxinfo? I had the same problem with 2007 "sunna" rc2 version- but after installing mesa-demos everything was fine. My xorg.conf "module" section was the same as posted above. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindakoe Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) # Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension The '#' means this line is a comment; in my xorg.conf this line is not commented out. The following command allows you to check whether 3D acceleration is running: glxinfo | grep render This should return a.o. the following line "direct rendering: Yes". If 'No' then you are not running 3d-aceleration. Also check that you actually use the nvidia driver (there should be a line Driver "nvidia" in the xorg.conf file).

Nik123 Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce FX - GeForce 7950" Driver "nvidia" Option "DPMS" EndSection This is Device section for the videocard in my xorg.cong. Yeah, I know that # is comment, but before Spring I used mandriva 2007 Sunna RC2 and the xorg.conf was the same, and glxgears worked fine I know glxinfo command, but it also restarts X-server Edited May 6, 2007 by Nik123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Run XFdrake. Setup your video card again. Then the problem should be solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
