Ok, so Im using a NVIDIA graphics card and just formatted the other day so today I did

yum install xine

So I would be able to watch some media files.... During the yum install it downloaded like ati fglrx, I dont remember the exact name of the package just that it was one of the 9 or so packages that downloaded for Xine. So I then launched Xine and it worked perfectly. After I rebooted during the process of boot where it starting all the services near the end it says a few line message about loading ati glx as a kernel module and it mentions DRI,. During the yum install process it added the Load "dri" to the module but I have removed that from my yum.conf...

When I try to play games now it tries to load DRI and all this other crap and it wont work... So how do I get rid of this problem and remvoe the ATI stuff>

Starting

Ok, I managed to snap a picture of the boot process so I have the message now:

fglrx.ko module for 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp kernel not found
DRI will not work within X with the ati-fglrx driver. Get
an updated/suitable 'kernel-module-fglrx-<kernelversion>' rpm
from rpm.livna.org

so how do I get this working to how I had it yesterday after i installed the NVIDIA drivers and configured everything?

fglrxinfo yields:


Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6600 GT/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.5.2 NVIDIA 66.29


EDIT

OK so i went to init 3 and did

modprobe -r fglrx

And it didnt find that module so I retyped modprobe nvidia to see if it would do anything but still when I turn on the comp it tried to load the ati-fglrx module... im using NVIDIA.

When I try to load a game I get

Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" misssing on display ":0.0"
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missingon display ":0.0".

EDIT again since no responses yet and I would like this working ASAP. If i type gflrxconfig I get

==============================================================================
ATI - FIRE GL - BE THE CREATOR
==============================================================================

This program will create the ATI "XF86Config-4" file
- based on your selections - for the below listed boardtypes...

- ATI Radeon 8500 / 9100
- ATI FireGL 8700 / 8800 / E1
- ATI FireGL T2
- ATI Radeon 9000
- ATI Radeon 9200
- ATI Radeon 9500
- ATI Radeon 9600
- ATI Radeon 9700
- ATI Radeon 9800
- ATI FireGL Z1 / X1 / X2
- ATI Mobility M9
- ATI Mobility FireGL 9000
- ATI Mobility M9PLUS

The "XF86Config-4" file usually resides in /etc/X11.

So basically how do I remove this ATI crap so I can get it to how my system was yesterday with NVIDIA?

Ok now at init 3 I did

modprobe -r radeon

and that didnt spit out any errors so I then did modprobe nvidia to try to load the NVIDIA drier... When I reboot it still checks for ati-glrx moduile and I still am not able to get it to return to normal so I can game. What do I need to do?

You may have libGL.so linked to ATI GLX instead of Nvidia GLX. Make sure libGL.so is linked to libGL.so.1.0.6629 (NVIDIA GLX)

how do you see where libGL is linked and how to adjust it?

ls -l /usr/lib/libGL*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jan 29 13:33 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6629
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7560220 Jan 29 13:33 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.6629
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 653 Jan 29 13:33 /usr/lib/libGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 29 13:33 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 473996 Jan 29 13:33 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6629
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jan 29 10:48 /usr/lib/libGLU.so -> ../../usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jan 29 10:39 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 -> ../../usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1


So is it linked to ATI then? If so how do I change it? If not what else could be the problem?
Would reinstalling the NVIDIA drivers overwrite the ATI module? Or what should I do to get rid of this problem?

No, it's not linked to ATI: the links are ok since *.1.0.6629 libs are NVidia libs.
Anyway, you may try reinstalling Nvidia drivers.
Also check
ls -l usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/libglx*

Ill try reinstalling the NVIDIA drivers like mentioned here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=259917

Except I think my xorg.conf is all good so i just will skip over that step, spent a while configuring xorg for dual head and shit like that so hopefully ill do that and it will work... except i think on start up it still might be tryign to load the ati drivers

Ok so I did as those steps did except didnt edit Xorg since i already did that. Everythign went fine except during the rpm -e --nodeps process with the Mesa LibGL, it said it couldnt find the package when I typed it in correctly.... So should I use up2date and update all my Xorg packages and then just redo

rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL

However, when I boot up the computer I still get the ati-glx stuff but it looks likle games are running now fine... except in the terminal behind 3d games i still get

Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".

So basically i think its working now except its still trying to load ATI GLX on start up, idk if i should justignore that or it could cause some harm long term with files or something
