Yes, i do have some suggestions. I read your reply to Ray as well where you say you use the nv driver which is from XFree. Firstly if you use a 2.2.xx kernel i would stongly advise you to get the relavant driver for your card from www.nvidia.com and install it. You will see a lot of improvements to video speed and quality. To adress your problem as is, the GLX module as its called resides in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/ Check and make sure its there, according to your error its not. What i dont understand is why should it dissapier if all you did was plugin another monitor and edit XF86Config(-4). Normally speaking i never edit anything when changing monitors as they are basicly all the same, i mean they will work even if they are configured wrongly, (yes) the doc's say you can damage a monitor by giving incorrect params to XF86Config, however times change, most all monitors thesedays will simply give a click and not show any screen or show a screen with horizontal or vertical strips and no picture. If all you did was edit XF86Config(-4) and change the monitor then i cant see why you lost a extention module, you must have done something else like install some software or you have made an typo in your XF86Config(-4) file. Do as Ray said and give us more details. -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
