Hi,
i got the following problem with the latest drivers:

On redhat 8 i used my geforce 3 (agp) and a matrox mystique (pci) together with xinerama, and it worked well.

I upgraded to redhat 9, and i installed the latest nvidia drivers (4349), and xinerama doesent work anymore (GLX fails to load: drivers not found).

Here is the error i get:

(EE) [GLX]: Failed to add GLX extension (NVIDIA XFree86 driver not f ound)

I attached my XF86Config file, aswell as the whole XFree86 log.

my config:
- Redhat 9
- Asus Nforce A7N-266-C
- Athlon 1800+
- Geforce 3 (hercules)
- Nvidia drivers 4349 (compiled)



I really hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks,

Patroche

I haven't looked at your config file yet, but are you using Driver "nvidia" in the section corresponding to your nVidia card?

That's what the error message makes me think the problem is, anyway...

Are you starting 2 X servers? The log file is associated with display :1, which is (usually) only used when you have 2 X servers running. This could cause the problem -- if your second X server is binding to the Matrox card (which it is, according to that log), then it won't be able to load the (nVidia, remember) GLX extension.

That log file also mentions that it's unable to load DRI, so maybe that has something to do with it -- if you were loading DRI's GLX module before, but aren't anymore, that might be part of it.

I think I need more info on how you're starting X up...
