Hi, there is no such beast as a tnt driver for Ogl for Xi software. Greetings Michael -- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net

Is it part of Xfree86 Actualy the best way is to test the 7.0beta while you can still say "hey somethings not right here". After you've setup your video (if you had to tweak it after install) add the following to the /etc/X11/XF86Config --cut Section "Module" load "glx-nv.so" EndSection --cut In a console run "gears" and then "glx gears" and you should see the improvement.

[newbie] OpenGL and Xfree86
I have Mandrake 6.1 and a TNT board. I saw the so called TNT driver included with Mandrake 6.1 (xfree 3.3.4-5) is a simple SVGA driver. SO here are my questions : 1- I went to xfree86.org and tried to get xfree 3.3.5 on their ftp site. But which files should I take ? Why isn't there just one RPM file ??? 2- I would like to test the TNT with an OpenGL program. So how can I install OpenGL ? Is it part of Xfree86 ? 3- could you please give me the address of a very simple OpenGL program that could test the board ? thanks Cyril
