Heyyas,I'm running: Xorg 7.0-r1 nvidia-kernel 1.0.8762 nvidia-glx 1.0.8762 I've followed the guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml with the following exceptions. I'm using a kernel.org kernel not a portage kernel, and I didn't make the "changes" regarding framebuffers because I don't intend to use one.That whole bit is disabled in my kernel. X starts up fine and looks great, I get decent FPS from glxgears. While following the above guide I get to this point "Code Listing 2.19: Checking the direct rendering status" and end up with this: glxinfo | grep direct Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". direct rendering: No My Xorg.conf follows: ######Start xorg.conf Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen[0]" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "extmod" Load "xtrap" Load "record" Load "dbe" # Load "dri" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[0]" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" HorizSync 30-70 VertRefresh 50-180 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device[0]" Driver "nvidia" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen[0]" Device "Device[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection ######End xorg.conf I've tried it both with and without this last stanza regarding DRI. I tossed it in there for giggles since I needed it with my ATI card. One thing I haven't ventured to yet is recompilin xorg. When I compiled it I did have VIDEO_CARDS set to radeon. Will this effect xorg working with nvidia cards? What would the proper VIDEO_CARDS setting be for a geforce 6800? Any suggestions/comments are very welcome.

Well, I've now narrowed it down to permissions. I didn't install the drivers off of nvidias site as they are the same version. Perusing the nvidia linux forum I came across a post that made me want to do glxgears again. I was root on that console due to just having emerged something, and DRI works fine. I'm going to poke some stuff with chmod and restart, but if any know what might be the difference that allows root to do it I'd love to hear it.
