help! nvidia geforce 6200 on fc3 glx missing

[zl2k]

hi, there
I just replace the nvidia geforce 4 with a nvidia geforce 6200 on my fc3 box. I installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run and updated all the packages.
I also did

yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-`(uname -r)`

Here is what I got:

glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

The xorg.conf is like

How can I solve the problem so that I can use direct rendering in fc3? Does the geforce 6200 support dri in fc3? Thanks for help.

Your xorg.conf file is incomplete. I think in modules part should be the "nvidia" driver included.

Something went wrong...

Try configure your graphic card using system-config tool and see if you can select "nvidia" driver.

I think the xorg.conf is complete.

Sorry, I had no reference system. You are right.

I have almost the same xorg.conf file. (almost same monitor, nvidia GeForce 6800) Differences are in the Files section:

Section "Files"

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, a font server independent of the X server is
# used to render fonts.
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection

I think you have checked the path already?!

Please compare. I have

yum list installed | grep nvidia
mod-nvidia.i686 1.0.8774-1.2.6.17_1.21
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.i386 1.0.8774-1.lvn5

installed.
Before I have tried to use the other packages and had also some problems. As longer as I think about eveything, that must be your problem...

Try this first!

Hope you succeed!
