Qudro FX 1700 Appears not to texture

tenspd137 · 08-31-10, 03:01 PM

Hi all -

I have two Quadro FX 1700s hooked up to three monitors at work. glxinfo shows that it recognizes my setup:

OpenGL renderer string: Quadro FX 1700/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 256.44
OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

I was trying some samples out of the OpenGL SuperBible e/5 and it appears that texturing does not work. For example, the first demo program just shows different types of rendering by cycling through wireframe, flat, lighted, textured, etc. When I start the demo, it shows the wireframe, flat, and lighted/shaded model of a cube. The next one or two are supposed to show a textured cube and a textureing that simulates reflection. When I cycles to these, the window is all black. It then cycles back around to wireframe and repeats. I don't see any errors in the terminal. I haven't tried this at home on another computer, but I was wondering if maybe I have something in X configured incorrectly. I have tried with both twin view enabled and split X screens (1 screen per monitor). I was wondering if someone could take a look at my xorg.config files and tell me if I have something configured incorrectly or if there is something I should be doing differently.

xorg.conf (for twinview, etc - makes three screens look like one desktop)

Any help or suggestions are appreciated - I am going to try this at home as well to see if it is maybe just a configuration problem. Thanks again!

Figured it out - my mistake - I did not read the sample code carefully. It simply wasn't finding the texture images and it apparently does not throw an error if the file isn't there.
