Re: Any experience with new NVIDIA drivers?



You need to remove the libGL* files installed by mesa and to re-install
the nvidia drivers that provide accelerated libGL*

For more (any and all) info check the
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Nvidia-OpenGL-Configuration/index.html


it says basically:
install XFree 4
install Mesa (apt-get)
remove mesa's libGL (be careful there are libGL* and libGL.*)
install Nvidia (make)
