S. =C2=A0Bonus points if someone can explain why that worked. =C2=A0o_= O It's been a while since I last had X + accelerated 3D on any of my systems here (my gaming box's running W7), but it would be my guess that, while Nvidia's libraries *were* configured as the GL implementation to be used, in the process of the last driver upgrade they got overwritten with upgraded versions, running things that should have referenced them failed and defaulted to mesa's libraries, and you got stuck with CPU based 3D rendering. Upon using eselect to set it to Nvidia's again, however, you refreshed the links to the proper, updated, libraries and things started using the GPU again. This is, of course, entirely a guess, and is at least moderately broken by this from glxinfo: server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation Still... it's the best guess I have at 1:17 AM here, my time. --=20 Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
