Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

Dec 03, 2007 dangpp link
I seemed to install Vendetta fine on Puppy linux, into /root/my-applications/, but when I typed /root/my-applications/vendetta to run. I got the update window, it updated fine, but when I clicked [Play Vendetta] it didn't run and gave me this:


# /root/my-applications/vendetta
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Fatal Error: Couldn't open window.

(Yes. I know I'm running it as root. Will make user later.)

Perhaps your video/opengl drivers aren't properly installed or your x config file isn't loading the glx driver

# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"

Well that seems to be right. I don't seem to see how they cannot be properly installed.. Hmm.

after some poking around in their forums and with the distro in qemu, make sure you have xorg_OPENGL and xorg_DRI_MODULES installed .
if you have an nvidia card you probably have to get their drivers from soem where else.
the default install doesn't seem to have any kind of 3d support unless they have got stuff in some odd place.
