From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Mosberger Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 20:26:50 +0000 Subject: Re: [Linux-ia64] Problem about NVidia driver 1.0-2880 on Linux-ia64 kernel 2.4.18 Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org I think this particular problem is a user-level issue and unrelated to the binary-only driver. I'm not sure what's wrong here, but one experiment that you might want to try is to build your OpenGL application against the normal XFree86 libraries. Once you have the binary, you should be able to switch to the Nvidia libraries. Hopefully, that will make the problem go away without losing performance. --david >>>>> On Sun, 12 May 2002 15:30:18 -0600, n0ano@indstorage.com said: Don> Yi- Last I heard nVidia drivers for Linux consisted of source Don> wrappers around a binary only driver.
