glx-no-gears
This is just a sumptom. When I run glxgears all I get is a black
window. No animation of three rotating gears. Other
opengl-enabled programs and plug-ins I tried launch and run as
usual. I'm able to shut them down without resorting to anything
stronger than Ctrl-C. But all I see is an image of unrelenting
nothing.

My XFree86 setup on this box (a Duron 800) is almost similar to
our other machine's (a P2-350) with the major diffference that
the P2 is using nvidia's binary-only drivers with a four-year-old
(or older) TNT* card. The P2 runs glxgears and other opengl apps
fine.
Does anybody have any idea what I may have done wrong (not done
right)? All I want is the capability to play chromium and
tuxracer on this machine.
TIA
