Hail and well met, Mark
Greetings and salutations to you as well, honored sir!
Is this the right place for kernel internals questions?I have no idea...but I'll try to answer your questions anyway. If I
get
scolded, so be it.
I'll do that in another thread.
I noticed this morning that my GLMatrix screensaver is notworking any more.
Open up a terminal window while X is running and type:
/usr/bin/glxinfo | grep direct
In a kind world, the response will be "direct rendering: Yes". If
you
don't get that response then possibly your driver is b0rked again or there's a problem in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Perhaps you could run /usr/sbin/nvidia-xconfig.
I'll try this when I get home and have a minute. FTR, here at work, where the screensavers work just fine, I get this:
[mhr@mhullrichter ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
(I also noticed that glxinfo is /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo....)
Now that I mention it, I'm still having trouble running thedisplay configuration settings applet (it comes and asks for the
root
password, then disappears). What's up with that? This happens here
at
work and also at home....
I think the command you can use in the terminal is /usr/sbin/nvidia-settings. It might give you an error report.
Again, later when I get home. Thanks.
