1 Heyyas,
2
3 I'm running:
4 Xorg 7.0-r1
5 nvidia-kernel 1.0.8762
6 nvidia-glx 1.0.8762
7
8 I've followed the guide at
9 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml with the following
10 exceptions. I'm using a kernel.org kernel not a portage kernel, and I
11 didn't make the "changes" regarding framebuffers because I don't
12 intend to use one.That whole bit is disabled in my kernel.
13
14 X starts up fine and looks great, I get decent FPS from glxgears.
15 While following the above guide I get to this point "Code Listing
16 2.19: Checking the direct rendering status" and end up with this:
17
18 glxinfo | grep direct
19 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
20 direct rendering: No
21
22 My Xorg.conf follows:

99 I've tried it both with and without this last stanza regarding
100 DRI. I tossed it in there for giggles since I needed it with my ATI
101 card. One thing I haven't ventured to yet is recompilin xorg. When I
102 compiled it I did have VIDEO_CARDS set to radeon. Will this effect
103 xorg working with nvidia cards? What would the proper VIDEO_CARDS
104 setting be for a geforce 6800?
105
106 Any suggestions/comments are very welcome. Thanks muchly.,
