Closed ericbechet closed 13 years ago

ericbechet commented 13 years ago

did the following :

nvidia-settings nvidia-settings -c :1 optirun nvidia-settings optirun nvidia-settings -c :1

every attempt gives the same message "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server.'

some info :

well, managed to make it work using optirun nvidia-settings -c :8

Why 8 ?????

ArchangeGabriel commented 13 years ago

Because :1 is used for fast user switching.

As some other may be used, we decided to move further.

So we decided to use :8.

ericbechet commented 13 years ago

oh yes, thanks

well; it seem to work, but it does not. I have an application which should normally use AA, but does not respond to any change made by nvidia-settings. How can I test that the settings are taken into account ???

ArchangeGabriel commented 13 years ago

Look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia

ericbechet commented 13 years ago

I am sorry, I can't see anything related to the issue in this file ... perhaps you meant another config file ???

ArchangeGabriel commented 13 years ago

Not at all. This file should contain some of the changes you did via nvidia-settings.
