Hello: I have installed nVidia driver 1.0-4496 on my system, with Redhat 9.0 kernel 2.4.20-6 and XFree86 4.3.0-2, for an ASUS V9560VS (nVidia FX5600) card. The driver was installed to nVidia's README, by-the-book. All requisite libraries now appear in their designated locations. XF86Config changed from Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia", added Load "glx", and removed Load "dri" and Load "GLcore". Video quality is excellent., the X server works fine, GUI desktop appears, and glxgears displays graphic at 3200fps. OpenOffice fails to start with a terse Segmentation fault error on the command-line terminal. XF86Config changed from Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv". Now, OppenOffice starts and funtions properly. However, glxgears fails with the following command-line terminal message: xlib extension: "GLX" missing on display ":00". Error: couldn't get an RGB Double-buffered visual According to nVidias README, their driver was built to XFree86 4.0.2 compatibility. Also was told that their glx code addresses segments in a manner that differs from the method in standard code. Does anyone have a solution, so that the nVidia FX5600 card driver does provide OpenGL functionality with X 4.3.0-2 interoperability?
