Since the upgrade to modular X my wife has not been able to view her
favourite screesaver (our cats.) Whenever she runs the GLSlideshow
screensaver, she gets the following error:
Xlib extension GLX missing on display ":0.0"
glslideshow display :0.0 does not support the GLX extension
I googled for this error and everywhere I looked people were fixing this
error by installing proper nvidia modules. My problem is that I know
nothing about nvidia or even device drivers in general. Do I need to
compile nvidia drivers into her kernel? If so, which ones? Here's the
lspci output from her computer:
