do you not have X installed ? xorg provides those binaries did you do # glxinfo | grep direct or $ glxinfo | grep direct in first case also my ouput is command not found regards I have xorg-x11. Maybe it's the USE flags? adam>emerge -pv xorg-x11 These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 -3dfx +3dnow +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc +font-server -hardened -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal +mmx -nls -opengl -pam -sdk -sse -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) +xprint -xv 0 kB I tried the command as a regular user. Furthermore, it can't be that because, like I mentioned, I searched my whole filesystem for the command and it didn't show up. maybe you should rebuild xorg-x11 with USE=opengl That did it. Thanks! I wonder if the guide should mention that that USE flag is needed to get those commands? maybe ... but opengl is in the default USE so really, unless you put '-opengl' into your USE somewhere, your system should have built xorg-x11 with opengl by default ... Or if you like to remove all USE flags first with -* (which I don't do, actually - I unset it because it was preventing something from compiling and causing an extra dependency). i'll leave it to another doc dev for a 2nd opinion, but i say close this as WONTFIX ... building X w/out opengl doesnt make sense most of the time, *especially* when using hardware acceleration like nvidia Agreed. opengl USE flag is on by default. I can't even find glxgears. I have no such command on my system. opengl has been part of my use flags since the beginning. (In reply to comment #10) > I can't even find glxgears.

You need to actually read the nVidia guide; it tells you to install "mesa-progs" to get glxinfo and glxgears. All of our hardware acceleration guides tell you to install mesa-progs, so it's not like the information isn't there. Please take any other user issues to the forums, not to Bugzilla. Closing again. |
