OK, I went through this excercise. Not all appears to be well : 1. Suggested check with 'xdpyinfo' does NOT show the "GLX", "NV-GLX" and "NVIDIA-GLX" extensions !

Ok, run this command and mail the output.
la /usr/lib/libGL*
This will show the files for the GL libs and then we can see if the symlinks are established. From time to time this will kludge and then it has to be manually be made. An example would be the libGL.so will point to nowhere, or it may point to libGL.so.1 but libGL.so.1 isn't there or points somewhere else. Here is my output:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2003-08-13 10:42 /usr/lib/libGL.so - -> libGL.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2003-08-13 10:42 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.4496 - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 423476 2003-08-13 10:42 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.4496 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2003-05-10 08:12 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 -> libGLU.so.1.3 - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 702207 2003-03-17 08:40 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2003-08-13 10:42 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.4496 - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5060036 2003-08-13 10:42 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.4496
So, this is one of the steps to see if things are setup correctly. Making a symlink is really rather simple if need be. So let's check this out and see if it needs fixing or we need to move to the next step. Oh and by the way, what version are you running again?
I am running 2.4.20-100 Output of la /usr/lib/libGL* is : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2003-09-08 22:23 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2003-09-08 22:23 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.4496 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 423476 2003-09-08 22:23 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.4496 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2003-04-20 17:49 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 -> libGLU.so.1.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 702207 2003-03-17 15:40 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2003-09-08 22:23 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.4496 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5060036 2003-09-08 22:23 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.4496 This looks perfect (and identical to your output) to me. BTW, did you notice my remark about /var/log/XFree86.0.log ?? In there, I see the message : (EE) [GLX]: Failed to add GLX extension (NVIDIA XFree86 driver not found) I think this must be the cause of the problem, but what to do about it ? The driver installation process went all-right as far as I can judge. Cheers, -- Jan Elders Nuenen the Netherlands
