Thanks Brian, I have
Load "glx" in the Module section of xorg.conf - However, based on my latest probing the graphics card is not in the opensuse xgl database, and the 3D acceleration is not enabled. So I will have to wait till a new package comes available with the driver for the intel GMA (q965 chipset) on opensuse 10.2 X86_64 Cheers Herry Dr Alexander Herr - Herry Spatial and statistical analyst CSIRO, Sustainable Ecosystems Davies Laboratory, University Drive, Douglas, QLD 4814 Private Mail Bag, Aitkenvale, QLD 4814 Phone/www (07) 4753 8510; 4753 8650(fax) Home: http://herry.ausbats.org.au Webadmin ABS: http://ausbats.org.au Sustainable Ecosystems: http://www.cse.csiro.au/ -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Prof Brian Ripley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 4:38 PM To: Herr, Alexander Herr - Herry (CSE, Townsville) Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [R] error: GLX extension missing on server This is an X11 server issue, not a library one. In my xorg.conf I have Section "Module" Load "fbdevhw" Load "record" Load "freetype" Load "type1" Load "vnc" Load "glx" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" EndSection and you may need something similar. GLX is an X11 extension, but I would have expected it to be there in a vanilla configuration, so please talk t your sysadmins.
