Can't get direct rendering on nvidia Geforce 6200

**saltydog** · February 25th, 2010

On Karmic, Nvidia Geforce 6200 and nvidia drivers v. 185, I can't get direct rendering (neither user nor root):

Code:

glxinfo | grep direct
 direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

Code:

sudo glxinfo | grep direct
 direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

From the log:

Code:

(II) "dri" will be loaded by default.
(II) "dri2" will be loaded by default.
(II) LoadModule: "glx"

So, modules are loaded. What can I do do enable direct rendering?

running the command:

Code:

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

I can't find anything wrong, excepts it is reporting a different GeForce model (mine is 6200):

Code:

OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7300 LE/PCI/SSE2

Thanks for any help

Sorry, my fault. I was checking thru ssh on a wrong display!

Code:

DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | direct
direct rendering: Yes
