Then, I realized that the NVIDIA driver was linked to the wrong client libraries. You can verify this by running 'glxinfo | less'. Look for the "server glx", "client glx", and "direct rendering" sections near the top. My "client glx" section showed version = 1.2 and vendor = SGI. I tried re-running 'ldconfig', but it didn't fix anything. So, I tracked down the appropriate libraries by reading the NVIDIA README doc. I moved these into place and created the necessary sym links, then re-ran 'ldconfig'. Since then, everything is working fine. The output of 'glxinfo' now shows version = 1.3 for both server and client and vendor = NVIDIA for both server and client. Other useful commands are: 'xdpyinfo | less' 'ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears' 'cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status' If this is indeed your issue and you need additional help, just let me know. -Brian Hanks bhanks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx bhanks@xxxxxxxxxx
