Hi All, I spent an hour looking through archives this morning and I either missed my answer or it just isn't there. The machine in question is an Athlon 800mhz processor with 768 megs of ram. Just yesterday, I installed a Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200 AGP card . I compiled the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.tar.gz and installed NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm. I then edited XF86Config-4, replacing Driver "vesa" with Driver "nvidia" The line Load "glx" is there and I removed Load "dri" and Load "GLcore" as per nvidia's 41 page README. startx resulted in a great display at 1600x1200. So far, so good. I then played an mpeg of the trailer for the new Xmen movie, or is it a game? (not a gamer) Hey this is great! Fantastic compared to the Savage s4 that I replaced. So I then ran glxgears. The gears spin furriously for about a half second, stop with no framerate displayed and the machine is hung up requiring the one fingered salute. I'm running XFree86-4.2.0-6elx and XFree86-tools-4.2.0-6elx. Could glxgears be my problem? Or could it be my XF86Config-4? How can I tell? There are no games installed though I suppose I could install QuakeIII if I had to. Thanks in advance for your help. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
