Nvidia Driver problem
I downloaded the current driver file from nvidia.com switched to runlevel 3 and ran the install script, came back to runlevel 5 and edited my XF86Config-4 file by changing driver "nv" to driver "nvidia" as per the readme file for the driver. I had a 32 meg GeForce2 DDR in this box and I cannot run Tux Racer, Armagetron, or Chromium correctly. Tux racer was the only one I tried before I tried updating the driver and it ran at about 1 or 2 fps, which is why I tried updating the driver. Now when I run any of those 3 programs I get similar errors.
Tuxracer at the console gives me Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". *** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual (Success) Chromium gives WARNING: could not read config file (/home/magician/.chromium) WARNING: could not read score file (/home/magician/.chromium-score) randomizing. SDL initialized. Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Couldn't set GL mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual and Armagetron gives me Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual (repeated many times, then) Error in bool sr_InitDisplay() in rScreen.cpp:541 : I could also post the contents of my XF86Config or XF86Config-4 as well if that would help in solving the problem, thanks a lot! |
In your XF86Config-4 file right under where you changed the nv to nvidia.....add this line
Option "IgnoreEDID" "1" |
See if you can find this little part. It is usually up toward the top.
Code:
# This loads the GLX module Code:
# This loads the GLX module Later :D :D :D |
