[Solved] Where is glxgears?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I wanted to make sure my nvidia driver was doing opengl.
On other versions of linux, there was a "nVidia" splash screen when I ran "startx". I dont see that now, but I was able to run "miniracer". I tried to run "foobillard", but it croaked with a "libglu.so.1" error.
Is there something like "pacman -S glxgears" ?

Just open up a terminal and type 'glxgears' without the quotes. You should see the gears spinning.

libGLU.so.1? Do you have mesa installed?

When I try that, it says:
[me@desk101 ~]$ glxgears
bash: glxgears: command not found
[me@desk101 ~]$

I dont think so:
[root@desk101 ~]# pacman -Qs mesa
[root@desk101 ~]#
Should I just:
pacman -S mesa
?

I got it now, I didnt realize I had to install "mesa". I see the gears now, too.
Sorry that was a dumb question! Thanks!
