GLX module fails to load on FreeBSD 5.3-p2, Xorg6.8.1
 

Hi,
I've been using the 1.0.6113 driver with FreeBSD 5.3-p2 & Xorg 6.7.0 without any trouble. I cvsuped my ports the other day and updated everything. Now I have Xorg 6.8.1 and the Nvidia driver 1.0.6113_2 port installed.
When I start X, the nvidia driver loads (I see the splash screen) but OpenGL apps run *very* slowly.
In the Xorg.0.log log file, it looks like glx fails to load, but 2D acceleration works:
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX

The card is a GeForce4 Ti 4200. The only change I made to my config files after the upgrade was changing the keyboard driver in xorg.conf from keyboard to kbd. I've attached the xorg.conf file & the Xorg log file.

sysctl -a hw.nvidia gives:
hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates: 8x 4x
hw.nvidia.agp.card.fw: supported
hw.nvidia.agp.card.sba: supported

Hope someone can help.

The X server is loading its own GLX extension module; reinstalling the NVIDIA driver should fix that problem. If it doesn't, then try libglx.a out of the way.

Thanks, reinstalling fixed the problem :-)
