Hmmm... Upon inspecting xorg.conf, I find dri is set to
load (bad) glx
is set to load (good), and nothing about glcore... Time to
edit that
by hand, according to Michael's previous notes...


From my Xorg.0.log, "bitmap" is found in:
/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a

And pcidata in:

/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/libpcidata.a

I have a 64-bit machine so you may have to replace lib64 with lib.

The package which provides these 2 files is xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.7

Verify if you have this package and that it's the correct version.


Yep, have it, same ver. When I let it reconfigure the x server itself, and it chooses nv, I get 1280x1024 24bit just fine. The Xorg.0.log file also seems to indicate that it know there are 2 monitors attached... Comparing the log files from the nv & nvidia attempts - what pops out is nvidia sets the ModulePath to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia, /usr/lib/xorg/modules". modules directory only has extensions and drivers folders, while the nvidia directory mentioned only has libglx.so...
	The nv Xorg log file is "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"...

I wonder if it would work to sudo cp those files to where it looking? Probably best to find out where the ModulePath is getting changed/set. Question is, how is a Win refugee to do that?
