can glx work without nvidia driver?
I am trying to get this little OpenGL program I wrote some months ago,
but this time it gives me this error (it compiles okay though):
$> ./mktrngdat
freeglut (./mktrngdat): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'
I notice that there is some problem with Nvidia driver now adays and
module-assistant auto-install does not work for nvidia. So at present,
my system (Etch) is not using the proprietary Nvidia module, just the
native nv module.
Here are some of the related packages installed:
$> dpkg -l *free* *glu* | grep ^ii | gawk '{print $1 " " $2 "\t" $3}'
ii freeglut3 2.4.0-5.1
ii freeglut3 2.4.0-5.1
ii freeglut3-dev 2.4.0-5.1
ii freeglut3-dev 2.4.0-5.1
ii libfreebob0 1.0.3+svn443-2
ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1
ii libfreetype6-dev 2.3.5-1+b1
ii libglu1-mesa 6.5.2-7
ii libglu1-mesa-dev 6.5.2-7
ii ttf-freefont 20060501cvs-12
My xorg.conf file has the following parts:
Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
#Load "glx"
Load "GLcore"
Load "int10"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Furthermore:
$> glxinfo

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

So, the questions is, how do I get my little program to work without
installing Nvidia driver?
thanks,
