NVIDIA ON FEDORA 2
I have an Nvidia Geforce 5600 xt:
I installed (with this command "nvidia-installer --latest") the driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run, according to the procedure required.
During the installation a popup told me to deflag riva_fb modules... i did it...
I compiled the new kernel (2.6.8) without riva_fb but now if I execute a simple game "tuxracer" I retrive this errors:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
*** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual (Success)
I have this output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found)
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks,Andrea.

Re: NVIDIA ON FEDORA 2
In my case the GLX lib and extentions give no errors.
I have attached a cut and past of my log extract hoping this could help you out ?
perhaps you could check if you find the files mention in my log ?
If comparing my setup with your can help you fell free I will be in for an other hour and back later at about 22:00 gmt+2 hour.

Re: NVIDIA ON FEDORA 2
try nvidia-installer --update
After installing look at file /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
If you already have an X config file working with a different driver (such as the 'nv' or 'vesa' driver), then all you need to do is find the relevant Device section and replace the line:
Driver "nv"
(or Driver "vesa")
with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section, make sure you have:
Load "glx"
You should also remove the following lines:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
The complete docu is located at the nvidia ftp-page: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6111/README.txt

Re: NVIDIA ON FEDORA 2
Very nice and worth the read link you pointed us to there Johannes.
Andrea if this is still an issue I would read Johannes link, this has got it all.
In my Xorg.conf I had nv instead of nvidia but some how this does works ? I am not in front of this system I will try change this this evening to nvidia to see if this works too ?
Tell about us the status so far so we know if you still need info/help.

Re: NVIDIA ON FEDORA 2
the driver "nv" should also work fine it's delivered with the fedora core, so you do not need to install any packets from nvidia.
The only limitation by the driver "nv" is that it has not fully hardware aceleration, it only supports the graphic cards for displaying the desktop and some little features. If you like to use the full 3d performence of the gpu on the graphics card you have to use driver "nvidia".
