No GLX Module after using gslapt


Ok, here goes,
updated the new Slackware 11.0 system to Slackware-Current. everything from xfce to more and less It didnt say it was going to delete anything so I figured it was just upgrading everything. Boy was I wrong. It deleted X11 completely. And another thing is that I lost 'xwmconfig'. I used slapt-get to install all the x11 packages using a regular slackware-11.0 mirror but now when I start X it says that the glx module wasnt found. I also tried installing my NVIDIA drivers and it also said that the glx modules werent found and so it cannot continue. I went through my xorg.conf and commented out 'Module GLX' and that got rid of the glx error as long as I start into the tabbed window manager... forget what its called, but it I boot into xfce I get the same glx error. What did gslapt uninstall???

Thanks,
DragonM15

Go manual way or read current changelog (lots of packages were splitted).

Manual way:

run pkgtool
select view
open http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/dis...t/PACKAGES.TXT
and compare

Thanks. I figured out that it was upgrading xfce from 4.2 to 4.4 that did it. I uninstalled 4.4 and installed 4.2 and now everything works great. Thanks again.
