Have you double checked the mesa drivers you have installed? It sounds
like they are running ok but for some reason some of the links they create
are not there. Most of the utilities and screensavers etc that use the
Mesa drivers all follow a uniform standard where lots of games (Loki's in
particular) look for the drivers in suggested dirs. Check the date/time
stamp on any gl links in /usr/X11R6/lib and extentions (I think thats what
its called) there are a few that might not be linked (libGL.so.1 libglx.a
etc etc) even though the files exists .... the apps/screensavers are
looking for a specific name other than what you might have in this dir. I
remember having the same problem with my Voodoo3 2000 but after following
the instructions on the site more carefully and re checking/creating linked
files ... it all worked pretty smooth. Incidentally the same thing
happened when I installed my GeForce .... I got lucky though, someone had
done a hardware review on the card under Linux and listed all the Non
linked files that had to be relinked for NVdriver to work correctly =o\
This might be another place to look for more information (hardware review
sites that have tested your card under Linux)
Hope *something* out of this mess helps =o)
