Ok Well I ran the ' glxinfo ' and this is what I get

 

$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

What does it mean and what do I have to do so that it does not say ' missing display ' Besides that look for direct rendering? On the message that I got from running glxinfo? I couldn't find anything that says direct rendering I don't know if I was even looking in the right place or where I was supose to be looking.

Sounds like maybe you need to install a video driver... What video card are you running? Either that or we need to fix your XF86config-4 file.

try the file found here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display...2_1.0-5336.html

and follow the instructions in the README linked on that page.

 

Basically you need to exit any grafical desktop. (log in as root... command line only)

change to the directory you downloaded the file. (cd /home/downloads )

run this command

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run

It should do its thing without any problems. I emphasize "should" --- Sometimes you will find yourself stuck at the command line and will need to be able to edit files with "vi" or have to run "XFdrake" to set you graffical desktop back up.

 

Your XFree86Config-4 should have two sections that will look like this after you install:

Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Well I guess that I don't have that rendering thing,

 

 

$ glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

 

How do I change it or install it so that it will say " YES " lol how did I star soo may posts..........I only had 1 running, and everyone stopped replying to it...

by the way I'm at my house, on my computer, the other posts was my friend, and I got him his own name but I guess that he does not use it and keeps on using mine. This is straight from my computer.

This is what I get when I run " urpmi xscreensaver-gl "

 

# urpmi xscreensaver-gl

To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (18 MB):

chbg-1.5-8mdk.i586

fortune-mod-1.0-31mdk.i586

xscreensaver-4.14-4mdk.i586

xscreensaver-gl-4.14-4mdk.i586

Is this OK? (Y/n) y

Please insert the medium named "Installation CD 4 (x86) " on device [/dev/hdc]

Press Enter when ready...

 

What I don't understand is that I have run the EASY URPMI and I believe that the contrib source is already installed, what do I do so I just add the contrib source, Or how do I test or find out which sources are and not installed? This is getting weird.

Well thanks, I followed Iphitus directions and found it my self, and I removed it. Now when I typed in

 

# urpmi xscreensaver-gl

 

It asked me for Cd 2 which I have! and then right now it's downloading something so Im guessing it's freaking working. Lol anyways how do I fix this rendering program thing? Or the rendering is included in the screensaver-gl package?
