I am having trouble getting glx to work. I have the line in the "Module" section of my xorg.conf file that says 'Load "glx"'. But some of the glx enabled screen savers still don't work, so I'm wondering what I might be missing. Any help would be appreciated!
Some of the open source X11/video drivers do not support graphics acceleration on newer cards.
For instance, I have a laptop with an ATI9600. The open source "radeon" driver works great for non-GLX use, and it even handles dual-head operation. But when starting X, it leaves a message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log saying something like "GLX not supported on 9000 and above".
I installed ATI's proprietary "fglrx" driver and now GLX works great.
I have seen similar problems with nvidia cards and the open source "nv" driver (which does not support dual-head). Install nvidia's proprietary "nvidia" driver and you get your graphix accleration and dual-head support.
