Unhappy (Debian) Installed NVIDIA Drivers: could not load OpenGL subsystem

Hi,


I have a problem when I try to start up a game:

You guys would probably say: Heeeeeey install your drivers!!!!!!!!! But I have already installed them and I can see the NVIDIA Logo when I start up X, so what could be wrong?

Linux debian 2.6.8-2-686-smp #1 SMP Thu May 19 17:27:55 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

Code:
rayen@debian:~/mohaa$ pwd
/home/rayen/mohaa
rayen@debian:~/mohaa$ glxgears
6098 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1219.600 FPS
1097 frames in 5.0 seconds = 219.400 FPS
669 frames in 5.0 seconds = 133.800 FPS

I was running into the exact same problems. After toying with an ATI card for a while (ATI drivers still suck :-( ), I went back to nVidia only to find that some of my games didn't work. After scouring the internet for help, I came across a couple of articles (mostly referring to debian) that said to remove (or just rename to be safe) the directory /usr/lib/tls.

So I renamed it to /usr/lib/tls_bak, and everything seems functional! I will update my post if I came across any problems. I run gentoo just to let you know.
