    Hi all-

    I'm running unstable/Knoppix3.3 on a pretty recent set up; I got the
    most recent nvidia driver last night and successfully installed it
    (following the instructions; I did rename /usr/lib/tls to tls.OLD, as
    suggested on a thread somewhere). Things worked well: I was able to play
    the UT2004 demo right away. I rebooted my computer, and now I get the
    following error:

    Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
    Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

    This happens if I try running glxgears, ut2004demo, etc. I didn't edit
    my XF86Config between installing the driver, rebooting and trying to run
    GLX programs...and I'm fairly confused as to what I should do. My config
    file is all in order...I get the NVIDIA splash screen when I run startx,
    the desktop looks fine, etc, which suggests that the module is loaded
    alright.

    Any ideas? I can post my XF86Config file and glxinfo output, but I don't
    want to take space up; can on request.

    Thanks much!
    Will Maier
