One other thing i noticed that in my extension i don't have a libglcore at all, but i do have a libglx.so What puzzles me is that it has the extension .so which makes it a executable binary, instead of being an archive (.a). is that correct and am i wrong?
and when running glxinfo - xlib: extension "glx" missing on display ":0.0" comes up multiple times. anyway, im restarting x, and hoping for the best.
