OpenGL with Mandrake 8.1 Doesn't Work

I installed Mandrake 8.1 in my computer (see sig below). I then installed the latest NVIDIA drivers for my distribution using the RPM method. The installation indicated success for both the kernel and GL.

However, 3D functions using Open GL don't work. Any suggestions?

I'm a Newbie so please be specific!

Have you checked your XF86Config-4 file? It should be at /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. You will need to uncomment the load GLX line and make sure the driver section for your video card reads nvidia rather than the default xf86 nv. for more information, please read nvidia linux readme

Hi guys, a few months ago I posted I'd bought the Mandrake bundle, planned to be a presence here. Obviously I haven't been. Just thought I'd let you know I'm still around.

I can't offer any insight to your specific problem, Jimmy, but srimmer's idea sure seems like a reasonable thing to check!

I can't express how good it makes me feel to be able to come here and even just to lurk.

I'll butt back out now, I really can't contribute much more than my gratitude at this point.

Thanks a lot! I got it working by editing xf86config-4

Glad to hear you got it working. I fully understand how aggravating linux can be, but I've found the more I use it, the more I like it.
