hi all!

im being a little lazy right now, by asking the newsgroups
but the laborday weekend is almost over and i spent it getting
the linux services all settled and figuring out how to use
code crusader and code medic (great stuff, btw) as well as
getting some of my coding projects created with it.

oh, if you wanna respond by email - remove the nospam.extention.

any hoo, yesterday i tried to compile some of my openGL proggies
under linux. but got errors that i can't open a gfx window:

GLUT: Fatal Error in a.out: OpenGL GLX extension not supported
by display: :0.0

so, i just created a bare bones openGL code. and still got
the same message. i was wondering if anyone knows i forgot
to set a setting somewhere or what not.

my system:
intel 200MMX with STB velocity 4400 nVidia RIVA TNT vid card.

im using the x server : XFCom_Riva3D and have mesa, glide,
and gl & glut libraries installed.

oh, and the window manager im running is enlightenment/gnome.

any help is appreciated and sorry for the cross-posting if
you're bothered by that kind of thing.

thanks in advance.

Did you insert Load "glx.so" into the Modules section of
/etc/XF86Config?

You forgot one thing: the X-server as available from nvidia
uses a "plugin" module for the glx extension, you have
to specify the "glx.so" module in your XF86Config.
