RE: GForce video card, upgrading Xorg

[David Baron <d_baron@012.net.il>]

Gforce: Downloaded Nvidia proprietary driver which built a kernel module and 
installed no sweat. Card works fine. Tuxracer/PlanetPenguin sails! 
Flightgear, the most GLUTonous application I have [SIC] :-), runs the way 
planetpenguin used to. In other words, blows that ati mach64 away.

Now, no longer needing the "dri-trunk" packages, I updated Xorg and this 
removed all the previsous dri stuff which I thought I can now live with out. 
Restarting X. Nothing.

Xorg.0.log is your friend. It was not finding modules. Locate cited them in 
the old dri directories (I might have moved them there myself at some point). 
Of course, I had made a copy so starting copying these modules to the main 
modules directory. Retry, need more, copy, retry, need more ... so much 
easier just to place the dri-save directory in the ModulesPath list, now 
last. Voile.
