I am having a very annoying problem regarding GLX on my Fedora Core 5 machine. I have enabled 3D Acceleration (GLX) for my computer by simply renaming
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
VendorName "Videocard Vendor"
BoardName "nVidia Corporation NV5m64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]"
EndSection
to
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard Vendor"
BoardName "nVidia Corporation NV5m64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]"
EndSection
Upon logging out and logging in, 3D Acceleration for my video card is enabled. If I reboot, then at the graphical boot screen, I get the following error:
Code:
Checking for NVIDIA kernel module [FAILED]
nvidia.ko module for 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 not found
When I go to xorg.conf, the Device section is wrong once again.
I did have some problems with the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 (1.0-7184) installer. (By the way, my device falls under the legacy category.) I encountered the following errors:
Code:
WARNING: You appear to be using a modular Xorg release, but nvidia-installer
was unable to determine the correct X library installation path
with the 'pkg-config' utility. Please install the Xorg SDK/development
package for your distribution.

Installation of the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86
(Version: 1.0-7184) is now complete. Please update your XF86Config or Xorg.conf
file as appropriate; see the file /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for details.
Anybody have any ideas on how to keep the Device section updated like it should be? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
