Tried a fresh install of ubuntu 32 bit, this is what I got at the start: $ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
Then I enabled the "Nvidia accelerated graphics driver" in the hardware drivers manager, and got $ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: Yes So the problem seems to be amd 64 specific. Now I'm going to do a fresh install of amd 64 with the alternate cd, and see if the binary driver works or does not work on a fresh install. -- hardy upgrade breaks video settings, can't get them back https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
