Hi;
Just to clarify things.
I have the above error when I checked glxinfo after I tried Susyem => Preferences => Desktop Effects and got this warning
"Accelerated 3D graphics is not available Desktop effects require hardware 3D support."
I googled and got the fallowing advice:
"The following needs to be present in the xorg.conf file:
Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection"
My xorg.conf contains: # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (mockbuild@) Sun Nov 22 21:04:19 EST 2009
# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display
Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection
I can add the ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" manually. But as the advice is dated April 2009, is it out of date (i.e. for versions earlier than F12)?
Shouldn't this type of configuration be added by some program or package automatically? I have the "nVidia Display Settings" gui. Shouldn't there be a way to set this configuration through that?
I am running a GeForce 9500 GT on a PCIe Bus and a rpmfusion nvidia driver as part of a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU system.
Hi;
To be honest, my family complains that I am a lot confused.

I added the ModulePath manually -- now GLX and Compiz work.

But my main question remains, shouldn't the GLX and extensions info be somehow added automatically? I understood that developers where trying to get rid of the use of xorg.conf and have Xwindows just read the info directly , so why would something as basic as GLX and extensions require xorg.conf?
If this is a bug or a request for enhancement, who should I file it with; Fedora; rpmfusion; Xwindows?
