Drivers?

English Applications

Right, so i did the one-click install for nVidia graphics drivers for suse 11.1, which is what i am running. What my question is, is how do i know if the drivers are working? I mean i noticed that when i logged in, on the kicker the audio and updates are in like 16 colors as well as the log out and lock applets.

Then i went into YaST and graphics card and monitor and SaX2 loaded up and then it went back to full colors. So, are they working or what? Do i need to do something after the one-click install?

Hi
Try running the program nvidia-settings also another check is to run
the program glxgears.

Also try glxgears. its a program that tells you (if runned from konsole) the fps your card returns.
Or use this command : glxinfo |grep direct and if it returns direct rendering: Yes then everything is fine…

If you didn’t have any previous version of the NVIDIA drivers installed you can also tell by the fact the checkbox in YaST labeled ‘Hardware Acceleration’ is no longer grayed out.

Nice nick btw, should we expect a Chidori around soon? :wink:
