Hello,
I installed FC7 a few days after it was released. But at that I did not
really try to get 3D working on my nvidia card. Yesterday I sat down and
installed nvidia drivers from livna. I have these relevant packages
installed:
$> yum list installed | grep nvidia
kmod-nvidia-legacy.i686 1.0.7185-2.2.6.21_1.32 installed
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-legacy.i386 1.0.7185-4.lvn7 installed
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-legacy-devel.i386 1.0.7185-4.lvn7 installed
$> yum list installed | grep mesa
mesa-libGL.i386 6.5.2-10.fc7 installed
mesa-libGL-devel.i386 6.5.2-10.fc7 installed
mesa-libGLU.i386 6.5.2-10.fc7 installed
mesa-libGLU-devel.i386 6.5.2-10.fc7 installed
$> yum list installed | grep glut
freeglut.i386 2.4.0-11.fc7 installed
freeglut-devel.i386 2.4.0-11.fc7 installed
And some stanzas from my xorg.conf files are:
----------------------------------------------------------------

Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
# Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
# Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"

When gdm start, nvidia logo is displayed so I know that nvidia driver is
working. But when I start glxgears, I get:
$> glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
Can someone tell me what am I missing?
My nvidia card is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2
MX/MX 400] (rev b2)
and the kernel I am using is 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7.
thanks,

After fighting with crashes with Xorg, I tried the freshrpms nvidia
drivers yesterday. Not the latest and no crash since. I didn't see any
difference in the driver between older and newer cards but I wasn't
looking that close.
It may be worth trying the freshrpms site.
