| Sweet jeebus, It's about time, now lets see if they fix the OpenGL + Xinerema issues, and if they work on 2.6 kernels. |

its working on 2.6 here with the usual minion.de patches
as said its not an "official" release so best not to complain if it doesn't work/destroys your system
but its fine here so far  |

That control panel is beautiful. Just the other day I was wondering if nvidia would ever make one like the Windows counterpart, my prayers have been answered.

gah! My box did not like these drivers. I just spent a couple hours rebuilding xfree, gle, glut, baselayout, nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx and rebuilding my kernel modules.
Not sure whether it is SMP, xfree-4.3.99, love patches, or what, but I'm going to wait for a stable release. |

well I have
2.6.0-test11
smp enabled
xfree 4.3.0-r3
its working perfectly so far, tho ive not really tested it
does the kernel module load?
look @ /proc/driver/nvidia/version
| Code: | NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 nvidia.o Kernel Module 1.0-4620 Mon Sep 29 08:49:59 PDT 2003
GCC version: gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r3, propolice)
|
note the 4620, dated from the end of september
floam: im not sure if its currently more than a pretty interface, ill have to look and see if those options do something |

Yup, everything was as it should be, I had to fight a bit with an unresolved symbol (something I left in when fixing the the bits of nv.c that didn't get patched cleanly). After I fixed that it loaded cleanly, X even started, it just hard locked my box after my monitors fired up. The only thing I could gleam from any logs was that it stopped logging right after initializing my second (pci) card. No biggie, I just won't use them. |

what is the size of the libGL.so and libGLcore.so you are using just out of interest
433432 libGL.so
5406896 libGLcore.so
look in /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/

I was using the wrong ones and things died in a nasty way as you have described |

Yeah, I tried replacing the GL libs with the ones in the Nvidia package as well. No dice. I gave up a while ago. |

Now, I am using the new NVIDIA kernel (4620, iirc) and GLX from 4496. And I get ~1900 FPS in glxgears, where I had ~1000 before!!!
This rocks!

LOVELY! 
i can't wait to install these, the control panel looks lovely, but if it's beta that means it probrbly won't be ready for usage, so i'll just keep an eye on portage 
now if only my digicam didn't crash my computer (see my other thread) |
