Trouble shooting GLX

My GLX/Open GL does not work. I installed the nvidia drivers on Fedora Core
5 and everything works but no acceleration.

When I do

glxinfo |grep rendering


I get xlib extension glx missing on display :0.0
Error couldn't find RGB GLX visual


I found a web site http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/OpenGL


it said to edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf and make sure

Load "dri"
Load "glx"and Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0660
EndSectionWere in the appropriate sections which they were not so I added
those lines. Restarted x but I get the same error message when I run
glxinfo. I have installed all the nvidia driver so I don't know what else
to do.Anyone have any experience with this?ThanksJeanette
