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

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. Thanks muchly.,
Korf
