Yet another new Xorg trouble with nvidia

hello folks, I got an old nvidia riva tnt2 m64, with old xorg, I had installed nvidia-7 1xx driver, then I updated Xorg and change from this driver to xf86-video-nv as my old drivers are not supported in new Xorg, I configure xorg with X -configure but I have not DRI. This is the output of glxinfo:

Re: Yet another new Xorg trouble with nvidia

Do you have

Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

at the end of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
Oh, wait a minute...you would probably have to disable hotplugging with the new xorg for that to work.

Also, make sure that Load "dri" is in the xorg.conf.  And then it might work?

Re: Yet another new Xorg trouble with nvidia

xf86-video-nv does not support 3d acceleration, unfortunately.  You're out of luck unless you roll back to old xorg and use the old drivers.
