Quoting Chuck Robey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I was wondering ... I have (I think) nvidia working on my box, or at least, I am calling out the nvidia driver in the xorg.conf, but I was wondering if there is any program that only works with the nvidia hardware, some way I can absolutely prove that I have the real nvidia card working here? Before I had it working, I was using the vesa driver, and most things look exactly the same, and if I could fine some program that shows the 8600GTS's abilities, I would sure like that.
btw -questions would probably have been a better forum for this question than -hackers.
The most straightforward approach is probably to review the output of your Xorg log, e.g. /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Output from the nvidia driver will be prefixed by NVIDIA (rather than VESA or NV if you were using a different driver).
There is also x11/nvidia-settings port. It's a control panel of sorts that will show you nvidia-specific information. In theory it lets you control some settings as well but personally I've never found it useful for that. YMMV.
