I installed the FX 3700 driver (177.82) and I now have a true 1920x1200
desktop - it looks great !
However now I lost all my GL screensavers (none of 'em work) and no desktop
effects. Here's the new xorg.conf (below).
Anyone have any thoughts ?
Note: I tried changing "vesa" in the Device section to "nvidia" and I
get the
old resolution again.
Thanks in advance...
Does "glxinfo | grep rendering" say "direct rendering:
Yes"?
I don't use the repo'd nVidia drivers. I get mine directly from
nvidia.com and I did have a case once where I had to run their installer
twice in a row to get direct rendering Yes.
Also, check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure you see lines similar
to ...
