    OpenGL direct rendering is not enabled

    I am using an Nvidia 6600 graphics card, I've been trying to get direct rendering running for about 4 days now. I have updated all my graphics drivers (several times) using Envy. I have my restricted drivers enabled (I've done lots with 4 days worth of google searches). I don't know if it's of any consequence but I have compiz-fusion running, though that wouldn't affect it, would it? I've tried everything I can think of short of a complete re-install of kubuntu (though I installed it for the first time 4 days ago).
    Can anyone offer up any help?

    Re: OpenGL direct rendering is not enabled

    I have the same video card. Here are the important parts of my xorg.conf so you can compare. Please ignore the difference you are likely to have regarding the wacom tablet, since I have one.


    Section "Device"
    Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Busid "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
    Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]"
    Monitor "Generic Monitor"
    Defaultdepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Modes "1440x900"
    EndSubSection
    EndSection

    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Default Layout"
    screen "Default Screen"
    Inputdevice "Generic Keyboard"
    Inputdevice "Configured Mouse"

    # Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet
    InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
    EndSection

    Section "Module"
    Load "glx"
    Load "extmod"
    EndSection

    Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
    EndSection

      Section "Device"
      Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]"
      Driver "nvidia"
      Busid "PCI:1:0:0"
      Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
      Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
      Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
      EndSection

      Under that section I do not have a line for Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True". My Section "Screen" looks the same with one extra option for RGB Visuals set to True.

      The BIG difference between your xorg.conf and mine is that I have no ServerLayout section, nor a Module section. Module is the one that LOOKS like it would do something big eh? Mayhaps I should add Load "glx" and Load "extmod"? Or figure out why you have those and I don't?

        I have added some things to mine. Add the sections you discussed after backing up your xorg.conf and test them out.

          Re: OpenGL direct rendering is not enabled

          I changed my config and there is no difference, direct rendering is still disabled.
          Are there any other things I should try? All I can really think to do is re-install Kubuntu on my comp at this point and try once more, either that or go back to Windows. Whats killing me is that given all I have done, I SHOULD have it enabled.
          Is there any kind of console output that could help identify the problem?
