hardware graphics acceleration 3068

Me Hello,

and browse down to Fedora block. Follow the links to FC3 installation notes and guides.

--------------------------------------------------

Beneath is my own success installment:

1) Download NVIDIA driver from Read the INSTALL and README files. ---------------------------------------------------

Logoff. Press CNTR + ALT + F1 for a text console mode. Login as "root".

Bring system to runlevel 3. # init 3 (or try even: init 2) ... X should be down now. ---------------------------------------------------

3) Install the NVidia driver.

# cd ~-download-whatever

....

Bring system to runlevel 5. # init 5

Goodtoknowcommand: runlevel ===================================================

TEST & CHECK:

1) Run glxinfo. It will print "direct rendering:Yes" if hardware acceleration is available.

# glxinfo grep rendering direct rendering: Yes ----------

2) OpenGL speed test: # glxgears

39643 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7928.600 FPS 41615 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8323.000 FPS 67022 frames in 5.0 seconds = 13404.400 FPS (this is a 64bits...) ....

NOTE 1)

In case you need the kernel-source:

----------------------------------------------------

NOTE 2)

If the Nvidia is not loaded at startup, add "nvidia" line intoetc-modprobe.preload

# catetc-modprobe.preload nvidia

and press CNTR + ALT + BACKSPACE.

((CNTR + ALT + NUMLOCK+ or NUMLOCK- ;) ---------------------------------------------------
