And any other X driver which needs GLX support.
Actually... well, I'm no expert, but I can tell you my experience :-).
3D, AIGLX, etc all work fine for me and this is my xorg.conf:
# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "Device"
# Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidDFPMaxSizeCheck"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
No modules section. I do notice that I have the line:
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
in the "Files" section that Antonio did not have. Perhaps he now has
that and that is why it is working. The xorg.conf file has gotten
much smaller in recent times. A change that is very welcome indeed.
