Hello all. First I installed the nvidia drivers for my video card.

Here are the errors I am receiving when attempting to run it:

I am running slackware 9.1 and using kde.
Any one running into this problem?

whats the output of :
glxinfo | grep rendering

and :
cat /etc/X11/XF86Config | grep glx

jeem@fedstar:~$ glxinfo | grep rendering
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

jeem@fedstar:~$

jeem@fedstar:~$ cat /etc/X11/XF86Config | grep glx
Load "glx"
jeem@fedstar:~$

The XF86Config files seems correct. I followed the instructions in the README from the Nvidia driver.

Hope that is enough info. I really want to play ET and have not been sucessful yet.
Thanks
Jeem

did you by chance leave in :
Load "dri"
in your config ?

if so put a # in front of the line or just simply remove it ..

Here it is. I'll also add a section that I am leary of.

jeem@fedstar:~$ cat /etc/X11/XF86Config | grep -n Load
59: Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
68: Load "type1"
69: Load "freetype"
70: Load "speedo"
73: Load "glx"
jeem@fedstar:~$


Here is the fishy part:

# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************

# Any number of graphics device sections may be present

Section "Device"
Identifier "VESA Framebuffer"
Driver "nv"
#VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
vendorname "NVidia"
boardname "GeForce2 GTS (rev 1)"
EndSection

I changed the Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia" and X Window would not even start.
I originally set up the driver as GeForce2 GTS (rev 1)
My video card has 32M of ram.
Then I installed the drivers from the Nvidia web site. It could not find a module so it compiled one on the spot.
Don't I have to tell X Window that I have a new card in the config file?
I appreciate all the help.
