639402 2008-02-11 04:21:00 I'm playing with the latest version of ubuntu, and I can't get 3d acceleration working. My ubuntu PC has the following specs:
Celeron 2.2Ghz CPU
512Mb DDR400 RAM
Geforce 6600GT Video Card

I installed & enabled the nvidia driver using the restricted drivers manager, but glxgears only gets 1fps.


This is my xorg.conf file. I haven't tried changing anything because it looks right to me. It is using the name from the onboard graphics because I didn't have the video card installed when I first installed Ubuntu, but it is using the nvidia driver.
