As I said in my post erlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. And now This post will be ablut getting the Propriatary nvidia driver to work. This is a nust if you whant to get Desktop effects, and wine and graphical games to work.To avoid problems with distribution and so, by default its not enabled. But its easy to do.
You start up System Settings -> Additional Drivers -> Enable NVidia.
This will download and install latest version of the driver from NVidia. Then you only need to reboot the system and now you can use all the fancy graphical games and desktop effects and so on.
Install glxgears
A nice tool for testing you graphical card and driver is the program glxgears. This will show a small windows with 3d gears rotating and on the command line you will see a dump of the FPS rate as its running.
Install it with:
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils |
And then you can run it with just glxgears.
