GLX Problems

[iceolate]

This is my first post on this forum, and I'm having some serious problems. I've read
numerous other threads and websites, but I just can't get this working and I need some help.

I'm trying to play Neverwinter Nights. I have already setup the files and when I went to play,
it told me that it failed to initialize the graphics. I installed the nvidia-glx package from
Synaptic and rebooted, it refuses to boot into X.

I went into recovery mode and restored the original xorg.conf file and restarted, and I was able to boot in.
Right now, it lists the Nvidia Accelerated Graphics Driver as the only entry in the Restricted Drivers Manager.

When I try to run ./nwn, I get this message:


Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Failed to initialize graphics.


Right now, the driver is not enabled because I rebooted the computer and it really messed up and wouldn't boot into the X login screen.
I don't really know what to do at the recovery mode prompt, so I just restored the xorg.conf file again.

Please help me.

Thanks.

Follow the instructions here (http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_nvidia_feisty) to properly install the Nvidia accelerated drivers.

Hey thanks. That worked perfectly! And it only took about 5 minutes.
I don't know why I didn't see that post anywhere. Cheers. Off to play NWN.
Thanks again!!!

Glad to help!

For future reference, that doc was part of the Ububtu Document Storage Facility (http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Main_Page), an excellent site to keep bookmarked.
