do these two work together? I downloaded and installed the latestet drivers, took the XF86Config file that I had before with a gf 4 ti 4200 (because sax2 seems unable to detect a 5700), linux starts, X starts, the nvidia splash screen occurs… but glinfo says GL_RENDERER: Mesa X11 (where before with the gf4 it said that it was a geforce 4).
it keeps getting stranger: after installing the new drivers again, glinfo says that there’s in fact a gf fx 5700 rendering, but no OpenGL program seems to run… “Abgebrochen” (I am from germany).
When you say reinstall the drivers, do you mean the NVIDIA ones right? I just put a gf fx card in my SuSE 8.2 Box, installed the “NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run” driver and installed Mesa 6.0. Now glxinfo gives me:
ged@linux:~/tmp> glxinfo | grep rend
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa X11
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa X11
