Dear Debianists,
I installed my 8500GT nvidia card successfully on my amd64 sempron box running
Debian Lenny:
spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/etc/X11# glxinfo |grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
I followed the advice kindly provided by Hans Ullrich in a recent post and
after modifying the xorg.conf file I installed compiz using apt-get install
compiz and ran compiz --replace & instead of trying to use the session startup
method.
The result was an "Xgl not present error". I looked around on google to see
what this error means but I didn't get much clue.
Is there a debian Xgl package I need to install for example?
Your comments are appreciated.
I included a copy of my xorg.conf after this output.
Regards
Michael Fothergill
