-Direct Rendering (3D Hardware Acceleration) is usually provided by the DRI extension. Not with nVidia binary drivers! Don't load the DRI extension instead make sure the GL library files in ''/usr/lib/'' are the ones provided by nVidia. It should like this (6111 is the current nVidia Driver version).

-You can assure hardware acceleration is enabled by running the following in X: 
  
-  $> glxinfo |grep "direct rendering" 
  
-If it prints ''Yes'' everything is fine.+http://stars.chromeexperiments.com/
  
  
-===== libgl1 dummy package =====+Chrome -> Settings -> Advanced -> Use HArdware Acceleration when available
  
-Most packages in Debian which use 3D acceleration have a dependency to the ''libgl1'' virtual package, to satisfy this dependency you should install a dummy package which provides ''libgl1''. +chrome://gpu
- +
-Either download it here ({{libgl1-dummy_0.1_all.deb}}) or follow the instruction below to learn how to create one yourself. +
- +
-To create a dummy package you need the equivs tool: +
- +
-  #> apt-get install equivs +
- +
-Then a controlfile like this: +
- +
-<file> +
-Section: misc +
-Priority: optional +
-Standards-Version: 3.5.10 +
- +
-Package: libgl1-dummy +
-Version: 0.1 +
-Maintainer: Andreas Gohr <andi@splitbrain.org> +
-Provides: libgl1 +
-Architecture: all +
-Description: Dummy package for the libGL.so  +
- This virtual package provides libgl1 the libgl1 package. It's +
- useful when you use thrid party 3D drivers (like the ones from +
- nvidia) +
- . +
- See http://www.splitbrain.org/dokuwiki/nvidia for more info +
-</file> +
- +
-Finally run ''equivs'' on it: +
- +
-  $> equivs-build libgl1-dummy.control +
- +
-You now can install the dummy package (deinstall existing libgl1-providing packages first) +
- +
-  #> dpkg --force-depends -r mesag3 +
-  #> dpkg -i libgl1-dummy_0.1_all.deb+
