Re: Direct Rendering
If you're in runlevel 5 (X login), then you'll have to edit everything and then reboot or something.. well.. not really but the easiest solution is to be in runlevel 3 (if you're not in runlevel 3, do "init 3" as root. hopefully that should work). It's easier this way because you'll have to keep testing things until it's right. "startx" is the command to get X running from a VT. I have a GeForce2 GTS. I'll send you my config file off the list (if possible). You'll need to edit it to match your system though. DON'T just plop mine in place over your's. Use it as a guide. -Statux On 19 May 2002, rodney wrote: > Thankyou, > I have a gforce2 and have downloaded the nvidia linux drivers for my > RedHat 7.3.

Re: Direct Rendering
Thankyou, I have a gforce2 and have downloaded the nvidia linux drivers for my RedHat 7.3. It says I have to exit the X server , How do I do this ? As you may have guessed I'm a Newbie, Thanks Again, Rodney. On Sun, 2002-05-19 at 15:30, Statux wrote: > you have to edit the XF86Config file a bit.

Re: Direct Rendering
you have to edit the XF86Config file a bit. You'll want to check with your card's maker for drivers, etc, and related instructions on how to edit the config. nVidia, for instance, has a Linux driver and a nice page on how to get everything working. Big question here is: Do you have a 3D accelerator card? If you don't have one, then direct rendering is pointless because it won't work. If you do, what make and model? :) On 19 May 2002, rodney wrote: > Hello, > How do i change my direct rendering to yes, when I run glxinfo it says > no. > > Thankyou, > Rodney > > > > > > ___ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > -- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
