X11 problem on slackware

Mercurius · 02-17-2006, 07:32 AM

I installed X11, Gnome Dropline, NVIDIA Drivers, everything is working properly from root. But when I "startx" from a normal user, the NVIDIA Logo does not appear in the first place, and when I try to run a screensaver like GLMatrix it gives me the following error:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
glmatrix: display ":0.0" does not support the GLX extenssion

As root the X server draws it's configuration from /root/xorg.conf. But as user /home/kain where does it look for configuration?

yeah i had that problem once...

i think if you mv /root/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf then it should work fine.

i believe the file sits in /etc/X11

but better check before you do that.
