nvidia 173-xx-2 no 3d in options (solved)
« on: March 11, 2013, 06:12:08 AM »
 was able to upgrade the nvidia driver yesterday (yesss) from the repo and all things went well untill i got to the options page in XFdrake. there was no option for 3d acceleration. this causes an error message in google earth and then exit's the program. is this something i can fix by editing the Xorgconf file?
