what shoud i do??

Do your rpm -e on the NVIDIA_GLX package now, and install the new one. Make sure the changes you originally made to XF86Config-4 are still there, and restart X.

Run glxinfo or glxgears as a test of whether GLX got initialized. If it still isn't with the new version of GLX, then post /var/log/XFree86.0.log.

GLX info gave me

glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and when i installed NVIDIA_GLX
x server failed to load and this was in the log

(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sun Sep 29 19:24:50 2002

(II) [GLX]: Calling GlxExtensionInit

Fatal server error:

glxgear gave me this

glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and here is the XF log

From the XFree86.0.log, you aren't loading the proper drivers. You need to specify Load "glx" (which you are, but nVidia's glx can't be found, hang on for that one), and Driver "nvidia", not Driver "nv".

You need to have the correct NVIDIA_GLX version installed to be able to do this (you need the version that matches your NVIDIA_kernel version; it looks like part of the problem might be that you don't have any NVIDIA_GLX installed?).

Was that everything in the log when the right version of NVIDIA_GLX was installed? Just those three lines? I wouldn't think so...

[mrbig1344]

i am using kernel-2.4.18-10

[mrbig1344]

thx i got it i just uninstalled the nv kernel and the glx and the dl the src rpms and did a rebuild


but there is ont thing i want to know mu uncle it traning to get A+ cirt and her said thet linux makes the mem in the video card run faster that it's suppose to is that tru??

[bwkaz]

No, your video memory is running at whatever factory default is set for it... unless you use some kind of overclocking program (if applicable; some cards are hardwired), same as Windows.

Doing anything else would be stupid.
