So then I tried running tuxracer, which really wants DRI, but can run anyway. No DRI (as we know), but why? The nvidia stuff is installed, ...isn't it? Or maybe it was only partially installed (and some of the opengl libs weren't). That doesn't make sense... So I reinstalled the nvidia-driver from ports, and tried running tuxracer again. Doh! Crashed X. Of course, GLX isn't loaded, so it gets confused, so I'll just have to restart X....and I get this message: (II) [GLX]: Initializing GLX extension Well, that looks promising. Fire up Descent 3 and....Wow. Descent 3 is a lot different from the first one. So much higher resolution... Well, thanks for the help. (although this may be a bad thing..how will I get -anything- real done??) -- Robin Schoonover (aka End) # # The windmills are winning. #
