Here is all the required data from my pc running a 128MB geforce4 ti4200

Code: Select all

Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual

Code: Select all

# This loads the GLX module
#    Load       "glx"

I had removed the

Code: Select all

Load  "dri"

line as the result of advice, and it didn't help or hurt

When I try to run games, it just resizes my desktop to a 640x480 screen and turns on virtual screen so the desktop is bigger than my screen. It flickers once, then the game in the kde taskbar disappears without ever loading. With the UT2003 demo, the same happens except I get the UT2003 splash creen, it resizes my desktop, and it goes away.

Here is what I have done:

I emerged nvidia-kernel, nvivia-glx, and then

Code: Select all

opengl-update nvidia

and then

Code: Select all

modprobe nvidia

and then added it to the init file.

The NIVIDIA SPLASH DOES LOAD upon starting x or gdm, so the drivers are loading.

OPENGL, HOWEVER, DOES NOT WORK>

Like I said, I have read MANY MANY situations EXACTLY like mine thoughout these forums, throughout google.com/linux and in many other forums, and NEVER HAS ANYONE RESOLVED IT.'




IS THERE A SOLUTION?

Wait, so did you remove the # from the Load "glx" line or not? If you didn't, you should.
