Title: Xorg-7.6 & 3d
Post by: jls on September 04, 2012, 04:37:03 PM

Hi
Reading the Xorg-7.6 info file I understand that for 3d accel I need to create xorg.conf.
Is that true?

From the Xorg-7.6 info file:

      To get Xorg with accel, exit to prompt,
      get a root console (sudo su), and then
      Xorg -configure

That's the way I read it too.

Perhaps it depends on your hardware - with intel hardware 3d starts "confless" (but soon crashes due to a bug).

It should work confless, but it's always useful to have a config file ;)

on my system Xorg -configure complains about not having newport_drv.so. i tried to load it with modprobe but it says:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ lspci -k | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 06c4 (rev a3)
tc@box:~$ sudo modprobe newport_drv.so
modprobe: module newport_drv.so not found in modules.dep even though i see it in /usr/local/lib/X11/drivers

any ideas?
