you need to run opengl-update nvidia as well. This will change the symlinks libGL.so and friends in /usr/lib to point to the nvidia-glx. I also have agpgart and dri enabled in my kernel. Don't know, if that is really needed, but it works here without problems (Geforce 3) :-) I have a file /etc/ modules.d/nvidia. Maybe you should run modules-update to get the entries in / etc/modules.conf. But I'm not shure, if I did that, so perhaps you try first without that. HTH, Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
