I was hoping a new build would come out and fix whatever has gone wrong. I do see there are other issues with GLX though people are citing specific programs. In my case I've had programs like crack-attack refuse to load or be very slow in loading. Running crack-attack from terminal after last nvidia driver & glx update gets me the following: $ crack-attack GLUT: Fatal Error in crack-attack: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display: :0 Inital window loads it's when I hit start I get that error. Running glxinfo get's me the following: $ 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". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual I'll spare posting you the rest of the output but it was pretty much continuous "GLX" missing on display errors. The programs this affects worked find prior the the two recient nvidia updates. Which is why I'm guessing they are the cause of this. I did try to add the DRI section to my xorg.conf but that didn't seem to have any effect so I commented it back out. My xorg.conf was otherwise unchanged meaning it still had glx loading in modules. * media-video/nvidia-kernel Latest version available: 1.0.6629-r1 Latest version installed: 1.0.6629-r1 Size of downloaded files: 16,116 kB Homepage: http://www.nvidia.com/ Description: Linux kernel module for the NVIDIA X11 driver License: NVIDIA * media-video/nvidia-settings Latest version available: 1.0.6629 Latest version installed: 1.0.6629 Size of downloaded files: 798 kB Homepage: http://www.nvidia.com/ Description: NVIDIA Linux X11 Settings Utility License: GPL-2 * media-video/nvidia-glx Latest version available: 1.0.6629-r1 Latest version installed: 1.0.6629-r1 Size of downloaded files: 16,116 kB Homepage: http://www.nvidia.com/ Description: NVIDIA X11 driver and GLX libraries License: NVIDIA * x11-base/xorg-x11 Latest version available: 6.8.0-r4 Latest version installed: 6.8.0-r4 Size of downloaded files: 72,271 kB Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ Description: An X11 implementation maintained by the X.Org Foundation License: Adobe-X CID DEC DEC-2 IBM-X NVIDIA-X NetBSD SGI UCB-LBL XC-2 bigelow-holmes-urw-gmbh-luxi christopher-g-demetriou national-semiconductor nokia tektronix the-open-group todd-c-miller x-truetype xfree86-1.0 MIT SGI-B BSD || ( FTL GPL-2 ) System info that might be relevant: CPU: AMD Athlon 2000+ XP Video: GeForce Fx5200 128MB Locate glx has the following things in the results: /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.a /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxtokens.h /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glx.h /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glxtokens.h /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glx.h /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxtokens.h /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glx.h /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxproto.h /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxext.h /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxint.h /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxmd.h Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Nvidia doesn't use DRI, it has an alternate implementation for direct rendering, so that's why that did nothing. Which version of opengl-update do you have installed?
That is what I figured re DRI. However someone mentioned trying it in another bug on glx type problems so I figured it was worth a try. * x11-base/opengl-update Latest version available: 2.0_pre4-r1 Latest version installed: 2.0_pre4-r1 Size of downloaded files: 30 kB Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org/ Description: Utility to change the OpenGL interface being used License: GPL-2 Using 'emerge -pC opengl-update" simply shows that same version so it's the only one installed.
I encountered the same problem today, after updating nvidia-glx from 1.0.6629-r4 to r5. Even worse, the ebuild for r4 has been deleted from portage tree, so I tried getting back to r1, but this also fails. glxinfo terminates with a segmentation fault, also other apps, that use glx. I tried the eternal-lands client, that worked yesterday and dont work now, because of missing glx.

I found an nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r4 ebuild on another machine, that syncs only once a week. After downgrading to r4 and opengl-update downgrading to 2.0_pre5, glx works again.
_pre6 was a big rewrite. _pre7 and 2.1.0 were just bugfixes to it. Does this file exist for you: /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so Is it a symlink to /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so Is /usr/X11R6 a symlink to ../usr? or is /usr/X11R6/lib a symlink to ../lib?

Ok, this is fixed in 2.1.1 (or will be once the ebuild is made). Please just test it for me by: cp /usr/portage/x11-base/opengl-update/files/opengl-update-2.1.1 /usr/sbin/opengl-update opengl-update nvidia Make sure the $Header shows atleast this version: # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/x11-base/opengl-update/files/opengl-update-2.1.1,v 1.2 2005/02/10 01:37:59 eradicator Exp $ If you have any further problems with it, please reopen.

Yes /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so symlinks to /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so
ok never mind me I'm catching up on email(I'm in the process of moving offline) and just realized this has been resolved.
I just tried the: # cp /usr/portage/x11-base/opengl-update/files/opengl-update-2.1.1 /usr/sbin/opengl-update && opengl-update nvidia That seemed to of went ok until I ran glxinfo. I'm still getting the same error: 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". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual Then the long list of errors follow that
I've synced and updated my system to use opengl-update-2.1.1 and again nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r5 and it works again. So this seems to be solved, on my site at least.
