  • updating or changing the nvidia driver

    Posted on

    Hello every one,

    I have nouveau installed as the driver of my graphic card which is Nvidia Quadro, but it seems that it is an open source nvidia driver, since I have some problems working with software (Ansys Workbench). Before that I should say that when I was trying to look up the version of the graphic card, I encountered this:

    [solmaz@napoli ~]$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
    libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
    libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
    OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
    OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
    OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0-devel
    OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
    OpenGL extensions:

    So I think I need to replace the current driver with a proprietary one, I want to know if it's really the problem? If yes, from where I can download this driver?

    By the way the arch I work with is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation, Release 6.4 (santiago).

    Any help would be really appreciated.
