You have a couple problems here. 1) You have a partial install of NVIDIA's binary drivers (you are trying to use their GLX module, but the graphics driver you are using is the "nv" driver that comes with XFree86). 2) The "nv" driver that comes with XFree86, which you are using, predates your graphics hardware and therefore does not support it. > Release Date: 23 January 2002 You either need to update XFree86 to something more recent that supports you video card, or you need to install NVIDIA's binary drivers correctly (follow their directions), and you'd probably want to use something more recent than the ancient version 4363 drivers you tried to install.
