Hello, I´m having a problem I haven´t faced in the previous distributions of ubuntu, when I run PlayonLinux it says I have no 3D acelleration, but I have already installed the most up to date NVIDIA driver, I have even tested a previous NVIDIA driver, and the error persists.

Thanks for any help, playonlinux worked fine in ubuntu karmic

Are you able to run glxgears? What model of graphic card do you've got? Did you installed mesa-utils?

glxgears? You mean the "3d test" button? It did not worked, and my video card do not list in PlayonLinux reports(it did previously on karmic). I also have not installed the mesa-utils package.

I forgot to say I´m using the most up to date playonlinux if it matters

My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT

Thanks for replying

Please install mesa-utils.

This solved the problem, but why Pol worked on karmic without I having to care about mesa-utils, and now I needed to go to synaptic and install it?

Thanks for replying

OBS:
My Ubuntu Lucid Install is clean

It's because Lucid Lynx lightened itself and get rid of mesa-utils as default package.
