Re: Again with the nvidia...



It's in there:

(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NoRenderAccel" "on"

But I also noticed this:

(**) Option "dpms"
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!

So I commented out the DRI and the GLcore, which were suggestions I found
from a google search. Hopefully this will do it. The unresolved symbols
are from the dri module, because the nvidia driver doesn't supply them,
and GLcore is supplied by the nvidia driver itself.

Thoughts?
