Hello there. After upgrade to Kubuntu 10.10, I can't activate opengl in the kwin rendering mode. I just can get Xrender, which I believe is much slowe.

I have a brand new Nvidia GT218 (Geforce 210) with the latest nvidia drivers installed. glxinfo works.

can anyone help me?
thanks

I also downloaded some 3d tests and the card is not performing as expected.

Maybe you need to disable functionality checks.

Maybe a clean install will help. Back up your data and format your home partition (to erase your config files) and then install kubuntu 10.10.

:confused:
Why not just delete or rename the config files?
ex:

mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.bak

Formatting seems a bit extreme to me. And not everybody can backup all his data.
