[XFree86] glx extensions not found for FX5200 with XFree 4.3.0

["Syta Saephan" <ssaephan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I have Redhat 9.0 running.  I am trying to get X to work with a Leadtek video card based on the FX 5200 chipset.

 

I have Xfree 4.3.0 installed.  I have updated my video drivers with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run.  I followed the instructions to change the XF86Config-4 file such that the video driver is "nvidia" instead of "nv" and commented out "dri" and "GLCore".

 

When I do a startx with the "nvidia" driver, my screen displays garbage and locks up.  When I startx with "nv" driver, X starts up fine, but does not load GLX extensions.  I did make sure that I loaded the "glx" extensions.  

 

What I found to be contradictory is that nvidia is saying to use "nvidia" drivers while XFree says to use "nv" drivers for this chipset. 

 

Do you know how what is wrong with the "glx" extensions or where I may find them?  

 

I have attached my XF86Config-4 and XFree.0.log files.

 

 

Thank you,

Syta Saephan
