How can I get 3d acceleration for nvidia

I have an nvidia riva tnt2 m64, uses nvidia-legacy-beyond driver.
I'm not getting 3d acceleration (as reported by cedega's 3d acceleration test--FAILED). opengl direct rendering is ok (dont know if that's relevant).

What is the cause of this?

'load dri' and the dri section in xorg.conf are disabled already.

Well, opengl direct rendering is working fine, so you have 3D acceleration.  This is a cedega fault, and you're probably better asking them directly, you pay for support so you may as well use it.

Please also note that not everyone is in your time zone, so wait at least a sensible amount (a day, maybe two) before bumping a thread.

Re: How can I get 3d acceleration for nvidia

A Riva TNT card is hardly cutting edge 3D.  It may be that in addition to an opengl check, Cedega also does a performance measurement which reports a failure if its inadequate.

I use tnt card with 3D enabled, but when running brutalchess, its virtually imposible to move pieces around the board since its so painfully slow.

If you want to use Cedega, may be its time for a hardware upgrade...

Oki. I was just wondering that cedega was saying no 3d acceleration when the card does technically have it. Thanks.
