extension glx missing

OK, I know, another Nvidia Driver problem, but I was chugging along until now.

I installed the new nvidia drivers (the single package that just came out) and edited my xf86config file to remove the load "dri" and load "GLcore". The load "glx" was already in there. I also changed the driver to nvidia. X works fine, but when I try to run a 3D game, I get:

Xlib: Extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"

I assumed it was because the load "glx" was missing from the xf86config, but its there. What could be wrong. Do I need to add load "glx" to another file, or is it something else.

I know this must annoy you, but thank you for any help.

is there a '#' (without the single quotes) before Load GLX?

OK, I solved it. There was a space between load dri and load glx. For some reason, that was stopping it from working. I dont know why though, there was no other code between them.

I can never get used to the precision needed in Linux, like how folders and files are case sensitive, too many mess ups just from that.
