Hello again, After a system reboot, I am seeing these messages when trying to open tkmedit or tksurfer:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". GLUT: Fatal Error in tkmedit.bin: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display: :0.0 I've searched around, and seen that changing "nv" to "nvidia" and adding "Load glx" in xorg.conf should work; however, the X server doesn't start when I do either or both. Has anyone had trouble with this?
