kernel upgrade has made nvidia 3D rendering not turn on.....
Dear Folks,
I forgot to use protection and the stork delivered a new kernel to my machine in the middle of the night again....
So I had to re do the nvidia driver stuff again.....
The machine is an AMD64 box with a 3200 Sempron chip on it and a 8500GT Nvidia graphics card.
I now have the following kernel
spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/home/mikef# uname -r
2.6.25-2-amd64
Here is the output of m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel:
spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/home/mikef# m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel
.
Updated infos about 1 packages

unpack
Extracting the package tarball, /usr/src/nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2, please wait...
Target package file /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-2.6.25-2-amd64_169.12-4+2.6.25-4_amd64.deb already exists, not rebuilding!
(however, you could use the -f switch to ignore it)
dpkg -Ei /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-2.6.25-2-amd64_169.12-4+2.6.25-4_amd64.deb
Version 169.12-4+2.6.25-4 of nvidia-kernel-2.6.25-2-amd64 already installed, skipping.
Everything has worked that debian nvidia howto says you are meant to do (at least I think so) but the 3d rendering doesn't seem to come on:
spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/home/mikef# glxinfo |grep rendering
