Guest csanchisb Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I have just installed MDK 10.0 Official and everything seemed to go fine until I tried to open tuxracer, chromium and some other 3D games. They don't work. So I try from a terminal and find out a message like this: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest csanchisb Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I forgot, there's something else just after that: *** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual (Success) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Do you have the nvidia/ati drivers installed? If not, glx won't work. If you do, check your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file for a line that says Load "GLX" or Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so" It will be in the Module section. If the drivers are installed, and that line isn't there, add it to that section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest csanchisb Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I just did what you said about that line, but now I see your message and... the fact is that I haven't installed the nvidia driver, because it used to cause some problems in my computer: sometimes it wouldn't work at all and some other it would make the text terminal useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 In order to run tuxracer, and many other games/applications (including some screensavers) you have to have the graphics drivers (be they nvidia or ati) installed. If you're running the stock mandy 10 kernel, or one of the many official updates to that kernel you'll be fine. Make sure that your kernel-source and kernel version match: [Coruscant//nwn]$ uname -r 2.6.8.1-8mdk [Coruscant//nwn]$ ls -l /usr/src/linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 8 15:33 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.8.1-8mdk// [Coruscant//nwn]$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
