That's correct. I just wanted to explain that most of the time, you either need NVIDIA's drivers (for their chipsets) or have a look at the DRI project, which supports most of the chipsets from the other vendors (Matrox, 3dfx, ATI ...). In deed, NVIDIA chipsets are not supported by the DRI project. - Sebastian |

Yes. Remember that the NVIDIA drivers install their own version of the GLX extension. I guess it is not a good idea to have different versions of the NVIDIA_GLX and NVIDIA_kernel packages installed parallely; it may cause things to fail. I'd suggest that you remove all these packages again, using the --force option of RPM if neccessary, and do a clean install of the correct packages afterwards. If this does not help, please locate your XFree86.*.log file and send me the lines where the GLX module is loaded. - Sebastian |
