Re: [PLUG] No OpenGL on lenny upgrade
|
lsmod shows that module nvidia is loaded.
X is running on the nvidia driver. I can clearly see the difference. I
am running at 1680 X 1050. The NVidia GUI tool "NVIDIA X Server
Settings" works normally except that when I click on the "OpenGL/GLX
Information" tab I get "Fail to query the GLX server vendor".
