Sorry to bug you all again, but I can't seem to work out what my problem is (apart from a low IQ). ;) I have updated my kernel to the latest version using up2date. [root@mailgate root]# uname -srvpoi Linux 2.4.22-1.2166.nptl #1 Fri Jan 30 13:52:48 EST 2004 athlon i386 GNU/Linux And I used the latest .run file from the Nvidia website: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run Now, when I boot, I get into X fine, and I've been running for 24hrs with no problem. However, I've just come to play my weekly game of Neverwinter with some friends and I get this: [root@mailgate nwn]# ./nwn Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Failed to initialize graphics. Erk, obviously that's not good. I noticed this in my XFree86.0.log: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX Also, this I spotted in 'messages': Feb 15 22:10:06 mailgate kernel: 0: nvidia: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5336 Wed Jan 14 18:29:26 PST 2004 Feb 15 22:10:06 mailgate insmod: Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2166.nptl/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - NVIDIA Feb 15 22:10:06 mailgate insmod: See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules Feb 15 22:10:06 mailgate insmod: Module nvidia loaded, with warnings Feb 15 22:10:08 mailgate kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann Feb 15 22:10:08 mailgate kernel: agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M Feb 15 22:10:08 mailgate kernel: agpgart: Detected Via Apollo Pro KT266 chipset Feb 15 22:10:08 mailgate kernel: agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe8000000 And Feb 15 22:10:38 mailgate modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0 Feb 15 22:10:38 mailgate modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Feb 15 22:10:38 mailgate modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 Feb 15 22:10:38 mailgate modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Feb 15 22:10:38 mailgate modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 (but I don't think the sound ones are related - what are they about?)

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual It seems to me that GLX isn't loading - but I don't know how to get it to load. Any clues would be greatly received. Sorry for the long spammy post - but I thought I'd include everything that I thought was relevant. If this have been covered before - and I'm sure it just a stupid mistake - just point me to the old thread. Thanks -- Jim Radford "If at first you don't succeed - change the DC"
