Re: [newbie] Geoforce 256 + mandrake 7.2

2000-11-13 Thread Jamie Kerwick

I tried following these steps, however, the GLX file doesn't make properly 
because on my system the .../modules/extensions dir doesn't exist, there is 
a file called extensions but no dir, also some of the settings, in 
XF86Config file, that i need to change aren't there in the 1st place. when 
running the nv_check it falls over looking for nv_module.o (something like 
that) which is in the ../modules/extensions dir.
This is driving me mad, because i have tried a couple of things each time i 
have re-install.

Thanks for your time

Jamie

Mesa doesn't work properly with nVidia chipset's, use nVidia's own GL.

[newbie] Geoforce 256 + mandrake 7.2

2000-11-10 Thread Jamie Kerwick

I can't seem to configure my geoforce card correctly. The x windows works 
fine, i just can't get the 3d to work. I have an athlon 800 + 128mb ram, so 
should get more than 1 fps on GLTron! Other games seem to run really slow 
too, like tuxkart. I have the mesa drivers installed. I did a customised 
developer install with almost everything there OK.
The other thing is that although xfree86 4 is installed the xr116 is 3.3.6 
version I haven't yet tried doing the XFree86 -version, but in on e of the 
config utils i have seen it reported as xfree86 4. Can anyone help.. please. 
BTW has anyone tried using the mdk7.1 rpm from the nvidia website? Does it 
work OK?

Jamie
