Getting original GLX back

[Raffaele Sandrini]

Hi

Some time ago i changed in my XFree enviroment to the vendor driver "nvidia"
(Xfree driver is "nv"). This driver installes its own GLX to gain access to
hardware OGL functions. Now i switched back to "nv" wich has no hardware
support. I had to disable GLX in the XFConfig because of binary
incompatibility between the open source driver and the non-free GLX (obvious
:) ).

Without GLX im not able to run OGL at the moment not even Software driven OGL.
How can i get my old GLX back? Of wichpacket is it part of? MESA? XFree?

cheers,
Raffaele

No the files are not there (i think Nvidia overwrites them)

i reinstalled xserver-xfree86 and reinstalled xlibmesa3.
Aditionaly i deleted all libGL win /usr/lib witch pointed to the Nvidia
implemetation. Now my system is clean again :). Thanks.

cheers,
