Hmm... Well, if it works for you in non-framebuffer mode then I guess
I can't be sure! :-) Perhaps it was something else for me then but I
had thought that was it. Thanks for the correction.
I just tried to reproduce my previous problem and at this time I see
this error which looks like a completely different problem at this
time.
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

I have this in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
Load "glx" # OpenGL X protocol interface
My xfree logfile shows:
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
dlopen: libGLcore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 136243544)
Hmm... I could not deduce a package that contained that file, other
than the proprietary 'nvidia-glx'. (Wondering if there is a diversion
conflict with the nvidia driver. But I can't see any.)
Any ideas for me?
Thanks
Bob
