perhaps you should do eselect opengl set nvidia. If this doesn't work, it is a bug in the eselect opengl module. I tryied with "eselect opengl nvidia", but it didn't work. It worked only changing the symlinks as described... I honestly don't see a problem... $ ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2010-05-11 12:35 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so -> ../../../opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so.195.36.24 $ glxinfo | grep 'direct rendering' direct rendering: Yes $ ls -l /usr/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2009-01-26 08:40 /usr/lib -> lib64 /var/log/Xorg.0.log snippet: [ 93.112] (II) LoadModule: "glx" [ 93.112] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so [ 95.198] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" [ 95.198] compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 [ 95.198] Module class: X.Org Server Extension [ 95.198] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 195.36.24 Thu Apr 22 19:52:00 PDT 2010 So I need info from you on exact details on what's wrong and why you're sure its wrong. It is strange that this happened only to me: without changing the symlink reported above, xorg-1.8.0 notified me that he was not able to load the glx module and so the direct rendering didn't work. Only after changing the symlink, xorg could find the glx module and I was able to obtain a working direct rendering, having an output like yours... |
