i am not sure what to do from here, just not that experienced with the nvidia drivers and all. any help would be appreciated...

thanks

yes you need to install 32 bit mesa then rebuild your nvidia driver with 32 bit compatibility. or you will never get your glx to work in 32 bit.
if you are using the generic driver nouveau for your graphics then remember you need 32 bit mesa also. and all the 32 bit compatibility libraries.
I am sure Fedora has some kind of a "Yum" way of doing it.

that yum way of doing (or actually any other) is what i am looking for as i am fairly confident that i am missing the 32 bit version of the drivers...

well, i am not sure that the 32 bit version is the issue. when i use...

Code:

PIPELIGHT_GPUACCELERATION=0 firefox

everything works fine so the issue is with gpu acceleration clearly...

ok in Slackware Alien bob a volunteer developer for Slackware has documented this well.
please read here. http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/pipe...inux-browsers/
then ask your self what pipelight runs on. and it's dependencies. why we use it to run silverlight to watch net flicks.

to fix this please read my previous answer.

yeah, i got it. i understand it, it is the 32 bit driver...thanks for the help.
