    Hi All

    I have a Celeron 900MHz , 128MB RAM, i815e MOBO PC.

    In this I am unable to play TUXRACER. I am pasting the error message:

    tuxracer
    Tux Racer 0.61 -- a Sunspire Studios Production

    Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

    ----------------------------

    If I try to play chromium also same error message comes.

    I had some problems with my X display about 20 days back which was
    corrected
    after doing "fsck " on the root file system and re-installing XFree86
    from
    First CD of RH9.
    I am pasting below my XF86Config file:
    ------------------------------------------------------

    EndSection

    Section "Files"
    # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name
    of
    the
    # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
    # no need to change the default.

    # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated
    together)
    # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent
    of
    # the X server to render fonts.

    # Option "XkbDisable"

    # To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
    # lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
    # keyboard, you will probably want to use:
    # Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
    # If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
    # Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
    #
    # Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
    # For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
    # Option "XkbLayout" "de"
    # or:
    # Option "XkbLayout" "de"
    # Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    #
    # If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
    # control keys, use:
    # Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
    # Or if you just want both to be control, use:
    # Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

    EndSection
    ------------------------------------------------------

    I had commented out all the entries under section "Modules" and
    section
    "DRI" when I had the X problem. That did not solve the problem,
    reinstalling
    XFree86 did.

    Now I have uncommented them as you can see.

    But why the error message keeps coming ? In fact during my earlier
    installation of RH9 in he same m/c , I could play Chromium with an FPS
    of 47
    to 50, now it is crawling.
    Can anybody help out in this?
