Hi Donn,
Shouldn't libGL be from the NVidia package and not from Mesa for 3d
acceleration to work?
One way to check that your libGL.so is the NVidia one is to search
for 'nvidia' in the libGL.so binary: (Note that on your system the file
could live in a different directory than /usr/lib - use locate)
% strings /usr/lib/libGL.so|grep nvidia
...
nvidia id: NVIDIA OpenGL Shared Library 1.0-8762 Mon May 15 13:40:07 PDT
2006
...
My word of advice is that if there is *any* question if the nvidia drivers
and associated libs are setup correctly, just reinstall them. I've never
heard of 3Ddiag before, so I don't know that I trust it to tell you if your
nividia drivers are installed correctly. Reinstalling the drivers takes < 5
minutes. For me this is step #1 any time I see any hint of video problems
on my machine.
Curt.
