Xlib extension GLX error

[saa_1973]

I get the following error:

Xlib extension GLX missing on display localhost:0 in both Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7 installations.

Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

I would start by searching these forums or google for a combination of the words xorg, glx, and the name of your video card manufacturer (I.E. ati, nvidia, intel). You should find plenty of things to get you started.

If you do not, please post back here with the result of the command lspci, and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Other useful pieces of information for tracking down video problems are what specific graphics card/chipset you've got, and any warnings or errors that you might find in your xorg logs: grep -E 'WW|EE' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

thanks for your post. I would follow the same and revert back.

The xorg.cong file did not resolve the issue.

I however understood that the application fluent required the driver x11 to be specified and the issue thus got resolved.

But I observed the problem lies with fc6 and f7 and never had the problem in fc5.
