GLX Setup

[NighTiger]

Hi everybody,
The attempt was unsuccessful.
I can't install the GLX libraries.
I downloaded the package through apt-get
ii nvidia-glx 1.0.4496-2.1 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver

and I wrote "Load "glx"" into /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 but I've received
this from X

(EE) [GLX]: Failed to add GLX extension (NVIDIA XFree86 driver not
found)

What I can make?

..... the error tells you the issue: "NVIDIA XFree86 driver
not found". my guess is you have "nv" set for the "Driver"
entry in the XF86Config-4 file. if you dont have the drivers,
get 'em from nvidia and change the driver entry.

.... exactly my point, you need the "nvidia" driver for
the "Driver" entry - you have the "nv" driver. (i may
have failed to mention you need "nvidia" for the entry).
of course, you have to ensure you have the nvidia stuff
installed.
