I used the NVIDIA's installer program which did install its own libglx X11 module. It also installed libGLcore, but not as an X11 module. I read on google groups that NVIDIA's driver automatically loads the libGLcore library if it needs it (though that didn't stop me from trying to force X to load it, which resulted in X refusing to load it due to unresolved symbols.)
Can you compile the following program for me on your NVIDIA system?: http://www.libsdl.org/opengl/SDLgears-1.0.2.tar.gz If it works, then it's probably my system thing and I'll look in that direction. If not, then I'll look in more general direction. Thanks!! Oh, I do have an NVIDIA motherboard (yes, NVIDIA motherboard!) requiring the nFORCE chipset modules I got off of NVIDIA's website. It's required to get the network, X11, and soundcard working. Yeah, I need the NVIDIA's nvidia module *and* the kernel module to get X working. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Anybody else have the nFORCE motherboard chipset? -Mark On Wed, 28 May 2003, ME wrote: > For my NVidia setup on my laptop, I have RtCW working with the the GL > stuff.
