Default NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 on Fedora Core 6

This is a wierdo. When i install NVIDIA-drivers, install Beryl, everything should be allright, yes? NO! I can not use the glxinfo | grep direct, glxgears does not work, I cant use the OpenGL/GLX-tab on the NVIDIA X conf panel. Anyone?

Maybe u want to see my xorg.conf? Found it! :P

I have tried to have Composite on enable and disable, true, false, on and off, but I dont understand this anymore, what the heck is the problem? Do I need to load the DRI and freetype modules and others?

What NVIDIA driver version you using?

Can you post the output of: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "EE"

That output just means that no errors occurred when starting X.

9361 is out and fixes some GeForce3 OpenGL problems -- http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-9631.html Try that.

If it still doesn't work post the output of glxinfo.

Dud you build Beryl from source or what repo? What else did you setup with Beryl?

So OpenGL is now working with 9631?
