This mini-HOWTO is about how to install the
<ulink url="http://www.opengl.org/">OpenGL</ulink>
drivers for
<ulink url="http://www.nvidia.com/">Nvidia</ulink> graphics cards on
<ulink url="http://www.linux.org/">Linux</ulink>.
In addition to just installing the Nvidia drivers, this mini-HOWTO
also explains how to install
<ulink url="http://www.XFree86.org/">XFree86</ulink>, the
OpenGL Utility library
(part of <ulink url="http://www.mesa3d.org/">Mesa</ulink>),
the OpenGL Utility Toolkit
(<ulink url="http://reality.sgi.com/mjk/glut3/">glut</ulink>),
the full set of OpenGL manpages,
<ulink url="http://www.trolltech.com/">Qt</ulink> and its OpenGL extension,
and <ulink url="http://www.blackdown.org/">Java</ulink> and
its Java 3D extension so that a user can have a complete runtime and
development environment for OpenGL applications on Linux.

<title>Linux Kernel >= 2.2.12 Required</title>
<para>
First of all, the OpenGL drivers for the Nvidia cards currently require
2001-03-20 22:35:47 +00:00
a system with Linux kernel 2.2.12 or later. Release versions of
kernel 2.4.x are supported. If you don't have it, then
you will have to upgrade your system's Linux kernel; see
<ulink url="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html">
The Linux Kernel HOWTO</ulink> for details.
</para>

Mesa is the library that provides the foundation for the 3D support included in XFree86, which comes only
with the libGL OpenGL core library component. Mesa is a software renderer. To enable hardware
accelerated performance, many 3D hardware manufacturers provide a drop-in replacement
for Mesa's standard software-only libGL rendering library. For this document, we
are only interested in NVIDIA's libGL drop-in replacement library.
</para>
<para>
MesaLib provides a software OpenGL implementation consisting of libGL. It also provides libGLU (GL Utility).
libGLU is a library built on top of libGL to provide some higher-level functions for applications.
OpenGL itself, libGL, is considered a low-level library. GLU is a standard part of most OpenGL
installations and many programs make use of it.
</para>
<para>
2001-03-20 22:35:47 +00:00
MesaDemos provides many OpenGL demo programs and, more importantly, the
<ulink url="http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/glx.html">GL Utility Toolkit</ulink>
(libglut) library. GLUT provides a window system independent interface between OpenGL
and any supported window system. For instance, on the X Window System, it
hides the details of using glX functions to setup a window. Programmers
can write code once and can compile it to work on MS Windows or X, etc
provided that a GLUT library is available on the target platform. Like libGLU, libglut
is a standard part of most OpenGL installations and is required by many programs even though
it is not packaged with XFree86.
</para>
<para>
While GLUT is bundled with MesaDemos, it is also available as a separate package from
its original project website:
</para>
<para>
glut-3.7.tar.gz
glut_data-3.7.tar.gz

You may use <emphasis>either</emphasis> the GLUT included with MesaDemos (preferred and easier) or the GLUT from its
project website. Don't install both! It's recommended at this time to go with the GLUT
packaged with MesaDemos, but instructions on how to install the other GLUT are still provided
in the next section as an option. Note that MesaDemos does not include the glut manpages, so
you may want to download the project GLUT package just to install its manpages.

Qt is a cross-platform GUI library that makes it easy to create X applications
with standard GUI elements (widgets) like menubars, scollbars, dropdown lists,
checkboxes, buttons, multiple document interface, and many other GUI things.
Using Qt, a program can be compiled for both MS Windows and X without
changing any code. Its a very popular GUI library and is used to create
the core libraries of KDE (<ulink url="http://www.kde.org/">http://www.kde.org/</ulink>).
</para>
<para>
Qt has functions (previously as an extension in $QTDIR/extensions/opengl)
for OpenGL that provides for
creating OpenGL rendering contexts in Qt windows. This provides some
alternative to both GLUT and using the glX functions directly, plus the
added benefit of full access to the excellent qt widgets and
cross-platform portability.
</para>
<para>
This is useful if you want to compile or develop programs based on Qt
(e.g., KDE2 and its apps).

The NVIDIA drivers provide a kernel driver: /lib/modules/2.2.16/video/NVdriver
and libGL.so and libGLcore.so files that go into /usr/lib/ to replace
and Mesa ones that might be in there. libGL.so is OpenGL. These files
are Nvidia's own hardware accelerated OpenGL implementation.

ls -l /lib/libc*
</screen>

If you have a version of XFree86 installed already, you may want to move it
2001-01-21 22:21:27 +00:00
or delete it. However, installing over an existing X is generally OK and
preserves any programs or libraries you might have installed into the X
directories (not that you should really do that):
<screen>
2001-01-21 22:21:27 +00:00
cd /usr
mv X11R6 X11R6-old

If these locations are not correct for your distribution of Linux, you will
2001-03-20 22:35:47 +00:00

It's best to uninstall any old Mesa version you may have installed before
installing a new Mesa. Uninstalling software can be a dangerous operation,
so know what you are doing!
</para>
<para>
To completely uninstall any Mesa libs that may have come with Slackware:
<screen>
removepkg mesa
</screen>
2001-03-20 22:35:47 +00:00
For <command>rpm</command>-based systems (like RedHat and Mandrake), try:
<screen>
-- see what will be removed first
rpm -e --test Mesa | less
-- if ok, proceed
rpm -e Mesa
</screen>
For Debian, you can try:
<screen>
apt-get remove Mesa
</screen>
Procedures vary for other distributions. If there is no clear way to
uninstall an existing Mesa, then at least confirm where it is installed:
2001-03-20 22:35:47 +00:00
normally either under <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>
or <filename class="directory">/usr/local</filename>. The example below assumes that
<application>Mesa</application> is installed (or going to get installed) under
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename>. Installing
over an old version is probably harmless. Look for <filename>/usr/lib/libMesa*</filename>
or <filename>/usr/local/lib/libMesa*</filename> and delete them unless you have programs that
need them.

<title>PREAMBLE</title>
<para>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook,
or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or
noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
being considered responsible for modifications made by
others.</para>
<para>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that
derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the
same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which
is a copyleft license designed for free software.</para>
<para>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals
for free software, because free software needs free documentation:
a free program should come with manuals providing the same
freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited
to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work,
regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
printed book. We recommend this License principally for works
whose purpose is instruction or reference.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="1">
<title>APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>
<para>This License applies to any manual or other work that
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document",
below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the
public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".</para>
<para>A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work
containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied
verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another
language.</para>
<para>A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter
section of the Document that deals exclusively with the
relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the
Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains
nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject.
(For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of
mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.)
The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with
the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial,
philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
them.</para>
<para>The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections
whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections,
in the notice that says that the Document is released under this
License.</para>
<para>The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that
are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the
notice that says that the Document is released under this
License.</para>
<para>A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a
machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification
is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed
and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text
editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs
or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that
is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic
translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text
formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format
whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent
modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not
"Transparent" is called "Opaque".</para>
<para>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include
plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification.
Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that
can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML
or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word
processors for output purposes only.</para>
<para>The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page
itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly,
the material this License requires to appear in the title page.
For works in formats which do not have any title page as such,
"Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of
the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the
text.</para>

<sect1 label="2">
<title>VERBATIM COPYING</title>
<para>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium,
either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this
License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this
License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and
that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this
License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or
control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or
distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for
copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you
must also follow the conditions in section 3.</para>
<para>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated
above, and you may publicly display copies.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="3">
<title>COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>
<para>If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more
than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts,
you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and
legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front
cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must
also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these
copies. The front cover must present the full title with all
words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes
limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the
Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim
copying in other respects.</para>
<para>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to
fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
adjacent pages.</para>
<para>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
numbering more than 100, you must either include a
machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible
computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy
of the Document, free of added material, which the general
network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the
latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
location until at least one year after the last time you
distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
retailers) of that edition to the public.</para>
<para>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the
authors of the Document well before redistributing any large
number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an
updated version of the Document.</para>

all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your

name of the original author or publisher of that section if known,
or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section
titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of
the combined work.</para>
<para>In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled
"History" in the various original documents, forming one section
entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled
"Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled "Dedications". You
must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements."</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="6">
<title>COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</title>
<para>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and
other documents released under this License, and replace the
individual copies of this License in the various documents with a
single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you
follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of
the documents in all other respects.</para>
<para>You may extract a single document from such a collection,
and distribute it individually under this License, provided you
insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and
follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim
copying of that document.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="7">
<title>AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</title>
<para>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a
Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation
copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is
called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the
other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on
account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves
derivative works of the Document.</para>
<para>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to
these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than
one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts
may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the
aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole
aggregate.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="8">
<title>TRANSLATION</title>
<para>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires
special permission from their copyright holders, but you may
include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition
to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may
include a translation of this License provided that you also
include the original English version of this License. In case of
a disagreement between the translation and the original English
version of this License, the original English version will
prevail.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="9">
<title>TERMINATION</title>
<para>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any
other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="10">
<title>FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE</title>
<para>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised
versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns. See <ulink
url="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</ulink>.</para>
<para>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing
version number. If the Document specifies that a particular
numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to
it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that specified version or of any later version that has
been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 label="">
<title>How to use this License for your documents</title>
<para>To use this License in a document you have written, include
a copy of the License in the document and put the following
copyright and license notices just after the title page:</para>
<blockquote><para>
Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
Free Documentation License".
</para></blockquote>
<para>If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant
Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have
no Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of
"Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover
Texts.</para>
<para>If your document contains nontrivial examples of program
code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your
choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public
License, to permit their use in free software.</para>
