Failed Nvidia 3D Hardware Acceleration for 32bit apps

Hi,

I struggle with nvidia.

I have read everything about nvidia and arch and cant activate the 3d hardware acceleration for 32 and 64 bit apps (both).

Here is my config

$ pacman -Q | grep nv
lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-4
lib32-nvidia-libgl 352.21-1
lib32-nvidia-utils 352.21-1
nvidia 352.21-1
nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-3
nvidia-libgl 352.21-1
nvidia-utils 352.21-1

My best result was the activation of the 3d acceleration only for 64bit via installation of bumblebee. It worked out of the box, no config needed. After some recommandations I have uninstalled it again and installed only the "clean" nvidia drivers, but whether they are installed I have no 3d acceleration at all anymore, wondering why.

In addition, here is my xorg log https://clbin.com/w9BCt.

Hope you can help me

Re: Failed Nvidia 3D Hardware Acceleration for 32bit apps

You don't seem to have an xorg.conf file according the the log

you should have one in either /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

to generate one

sudo nvidia-xconfig
