 |
|
So here's my problem :
I follow the nvidia guide up to the point where I enter "glxinfo | grep direct" and the following shows :
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". |
What could that be?
The more I don't know where to set refresh rates, due to that, my head is hurting right now from looking too much :p.

did you make the changes in your xorg.conf?
make sure dri is not loaded but glx is.
refresh rates get set in that config also, under your monitors section

I did make the changes in the xorg.conf file. -> dri off glx on
What's funny is that xorg.conf doesn't seem to recongnize me monitor correctly(?).
This is my card settings...driver should be correct.
| Code: |
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "Unknown Board"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
|
And my screen section does seem weird to me.
| Code: |
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

Anything I need to change? |

you need a defaultdepth option in your "screen" section
try | Code: | | "DefaultDepth" "24" |

| Plus, you need to set your resolutions for each color depth. You should get something like potatoface has for modes, but runto get the right resolutions for your monitor frequencies. Also, if you've only got one graphics card, there´s no need for the BusID line. |
