The nv driver does not accalerate openGL, so you only get whatever Mesa provides in software. If you installed the nvidia non-free driver (nvidia-glx package, and nvidia-modules-kernelversion package) and switch X to use 'nvidia' instead of 'nv' then you get accalerated openGL. I have a howto (which usually works well) at http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/debian/debian-nvidia-dri-howto.txt -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
