My install of my nvidia card was at a point in time when debian's nvidia packages consisted of a non-accelerated driver. Those are the steps to take to get the source versions of the GLX/Kernel stuff from nvidia. If the debian packages are being built based on the sources available at nvidia.com then I don't see any reason not to use them, but I wasn't aware at the time that debian had included that in their packages. The modules/extensions/libGL*.a files never fail to bomb out my X session when I run glxinfo, but as soon as I remove them eveyrthing works fine. Maybe I'll try the nvidia packages this time, but my system is running smooth with HIGH frame rates in q3a so I don't particularly care how it's installed. :-) Thanks, > >| Andrew S.
