I broke my GLX!
I had GLX (utah-glx) working under XFree 4.0.1. Then I downgraded back
to 3.3.6 (by symlinking the X directories to their backup copies). I've got
Section "Module"
Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/glx.so"
EndSection
and
Option "no_font_cache"
Option "no_pixmap_cache"
in the "Device" section,
and /etc/X11/glx.conf is the same as before, but no go: X starts up
with no mention of the glx module being loaded. (Incidentally,
the utahglx page at sourceforge says utah-glx will work with 3.3.6 and
not 4.0.1, but for me it seems to be the other way around!)
Now, I'm pretty sure that before upgrading X, the glx module was being
loaded. I just didn't know how to test it. Now I test it with bubble3d
from xscreensaver-gl. Works under 4.0.1, segfaults under 3.3.6 (not
surprising since by all appearances the glx module isn't loaded,
though a segfault seems like a lousy way to die).
I have rtfm'd to the best of my abilities. Anybody guess what I'm
forgetting?
I'm posting this here as well as in an X newsgroup because I have been
almost exclusively running debs of the relevant software. Most
recently the utah-glx debs found via freshmeat.net.
I don't really understand the relationship between Mesa, GLX,
utah-glx, glutg3, and so on.
If you have glx working, tell me which debs (or tarballs) you
installed from.
