Have Nvidia BUT Using Mesa

Post by qops1981 »

Hey All,

I am having a problem. 1st I encountered this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1325666
So after attempting what was suggested I found I have bad 3D support.

I then uninstalled and reinstalled Wine without the exception described in the bug above. But this time I did not get the error as I did when I originally installed wine, thus negating the bug. BUT my graphics still sucked.

I looked at a log and found this:

Code: Select all

trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo GL version             : 2.1 Mesa 12.0.1.
trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo GL renderer            : Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.8, 128 bits).
trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo GLX version            : 1.4.
trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Server GLX version     : 1.4.
trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Server GLX vendor:     : SGI.
trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Client GLX version     : 1.4.
trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Client GLX vendor:     : Mesa Project and SGI.
trace:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering enabled: True
But I have my Nvida drivers installed. why is it not using them. Is the problem in Wine OR Did my Nvida drivers not install correctly?

When you installed the Nvidia driver, did you also install the 32 bit driver? You need to.

I did, but maybe it error'd and I didn't pay attention. I decided to go ahead and reinstall the drivers and there happen to be an minor update. So post update seems to have solved the issue.

I first uninstalled Wine, then rebooted and installed the updated NVIDIA drivers, then rebooted and installed wine again. Everything seems fine now.

Thank you for the assistance.
