If you are using the nvidia proprietary drivers and the latest opengl-update (2.1.1), Xorg doesn't load GLX extentsions. Downgrading to opengl-update 2.0_pre5 fixes this problem. The version of nvidia-glx doesn't seem to matter. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use nvidia's proprietary drivers and the Xorg 2.run 'opengl-update nvidia' 3.startx Actual Results: (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0) Expected Results: GLX should have loaded Downgrade to opengl-update-2.0_pre5 and run 'opengl-update nvidia' and the problem goes away.
the glx symlink is missing: /usr/lib64/modules/extensions just add it and it and glx will work again.
that is, in this dir: /usr/lib64/modules/extensions you should do as root: ln -s /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.a libglx.a like so: [/usr/lib64/modules/extensions] l total 3.6M -r--r--r-- 1 root root 24K Feb 11 15:19 libdbe.a -r--r--r-- 1 root root 44K Feb 11 15:19 libdri.a -r--r--r-- 1 root root 220K Feb 11 15:19 libextmod.a -r--r--r-- 1 root root 3.2M Feb 11 15:19 libGLcore.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Feb 11 18:22 libglx.a -> /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.a -r--r--r-- 1 root root 35K Feb 11 15:19 librecord.a -r--r--r-- 1 root root 59K Feb 11 15:19 libxtrap.a [/usr/lib64/modules/extensions]
It works for me. What version of xorg-x11 do you have? Did youu run 'opengl-update nvidia' after updating opengl-update? This was a problem in 2.1.0 that was fixed in 2.1.1.
yes, i ran opengl-update nvidia after the upgrade, and i'm using the latest xorg-x11. i've found some people that it works fine for and others that it doesn't...
ok, do you have this file on your system: /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so What version of nvidia-glx do you have?
I was able to get around it by adding this line to the Files section of xorg.conf: ModulePath "/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions" but that is hardly a permanent solution.
Kev, what profile do you have? What version of xorg-x11? Do you have this file: /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so I can't reproduce this with 2.1.1, so I need someone to provide me with info otherwise it won't be fixed. Please provide this info: emerge --info file /usr/lib file /usr/lib64 file /usr/X11R6 file /usr/X11R6/lib file /usr/X11R6/lib64 file /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so file /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so ls -l /usr/lib64/modules/extensions ls -l /usr/lib/modules/extensions Thanks
I am running xorg-x11 6.8.0-r4 on profile 2004.3. The file /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so does not exist, and I have no /usr/lib64 directory at all. (Should I? I have 32-bit CPUs.)

works for me on 2004.3 x86. Kev, please provide the output of (and show the commands rather than just copying the concatenated output) # ls /usr/lib/opengl/*/extensions # opengl-update xorg-x11 # ls -l /usr/lib/modules/extensions/*glx* # opengl-update nvidia # ls -l /usr/lib/modules/extensions/*glx*
Running it for xorg-x11 and then nvidia seems to have fixed the problem. libglx.so is now where it should be, and I can start X without the additional ModulePath. Thanks!
