Buh. Could I just take my Dumbarse Award? Solution to my problem: If you want GLX to work ... it helps to uncomment the Load "glx" line! That was it - that was the whole problem. Now both machines are cranking away the ol' glxgears very happily. I fully expect xscreensaver to show me many new and wonderful things as well.

The thing is, I can't find which port installs this extension. Is there one? In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I have the following: Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "glx" # X may fail to start following an upgrade of X, saying # "Failed to load GLX" or some such. The fix seems to be to # rename /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a to some # other name. Makes no sense but it works. Documented here # so it will be findable next time. ...blah blah... EndSection That commented note relates to something I found on some web site after googling the same problem. It seems to work. Note, I have an nvidia card; if you have some other card, the above may not be applicable to you.

GLX extension in Xorg? (5.4 and 6.0)
I have a 5.4 and a 6.0 box here, both with Xorg installed from ports. When running xscreensaver, half the time they come up saying the GLX extension isn't loaded. And, of course, they can't run glxgears for the same reason. The thing is, I can't find which port installs this extension. Is there one? -d. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
