In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I have the following: Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "glx" # X may fail to start following an upgrade of X, saying # "Failed to load GLX" or some such. The fix seems to be to # rename /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a to some # other name. Makes no sense but it works. Documented here # so it will be findable next time. ...blah blah... EndSection That commented note relates to something I found on some web site after googling the same problem. It seems to work. Note, I have an nvidia card; if you have some other card, the above may not be applicable to you. HTH. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ]
