Rep:
the glx reference means it something to do w/ xfree86, probably the opengl. are you sure opengl works on your system? did you run the glxgears and glxinfo?
i just tried glxgears and glxinfo and got the same errors im 100% sure my graphics card supports opengl because its a MSI Geforce4Ti4600 128mb ddr, any suggestions on howto get it to work.
and the Load "glx" in your xf86config file is there.

Rep:
try typing "glxinfo" (no quotes) in the console and look for the words "direct rendering" there should be a colon after those words, and after the colon, there should be a "yes" or "enabled". can you check this? if it says "no or "disabled" then opengl hardware acceleration is not working right.

Rep:
oh boy. thats not good. that means that your system hasnt got any trace of opengl or dri or any hardware accel. on it. try looking at http://dri.sourceforge.net
by the way, what is your video card model?

oh you have an nvidia? then getting everything to work should be easy. just go to http://nvidia.com
and download the drivers for your video card. youre a lucky guy. ATI owners (like me )dont have it that easy .
