Erik: Copy from old
2009-06-04T05:27:35Z
<p>Copy from old</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:Hardware]]<br />
<br />
= Introduction =<br />
<br />
There are three main drivers for nvidia graphics card on linux, one of which is shipped with slackware:<br />
<br />
* nv (shipped with slackware) - this provides basic 2d acceleration, not 3d<br />
* nvidia (NVidia's proprietary driver) - this is the generally recommended driver, providing good 2d and 3d performance<br />
* nouveau - an attempt to reverse-engineer the nvidia driver; not particular usable or stable<br />
<br />
This article assumes you want the 'nvidia' driver; if you do not, generic (IE not slackware-specific) documentation available.<br />
<br />
= Obtaining the driver =<br />
<br />
The driver can be found at [http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html].<br />
<br />
= Installing the driver =<br />
<br />
The driver must not be installed while X is running; if X is running, stop X, install the driver, then start X again how you normally would (eg "telinit 4", or "startx").<br />
<br />
Download the driver, then "sh FILENAME.run" in the directory you downloaded it do, replacing "FILENAME" with the name of the file you downloaded.<br />
<br />
== XOrg config ==<br />
<br />
There are two options:<br />
<br />
=== nvidia-xconfig ===<br />
<br />
This is an automated tool, that the above installer offers to run for you. It attempts to modify your XOrg.conf automatically to use the nvidia driver.<br />
<br />
=== Manual Editing ===<br />
<br />
Find the section relating to your graphics card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and change the driver to "nvidia". If you want to change the default settings, for example, add dual-head support, see the readme installed into /usr/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/.<br />
<br />
= Checking It's Working =<br />
<br />
* Check "nvidia-settings" runs in X<br />
* Check "glxinfo | grep direct" returns "direct rendering: Yes"<br />
* Check "glxgears" gives a reasonable result (google for comparisons)<br />
<br />
Pay close attention to specific model of graphics card when checking for suitable glxgears results; keep in mind that glxgears isn't really a good 'benchmark', but should indicate if DRI is working properly or not. For example:<br />
<br />
* On an Intel X3100, a good result is somewhere around 1000 FPS<br />
* On an NVidia 7800GTX, a good result is somewhere above 12000 (though 15k is fairly normal)</div>
