[TriLUG] GLX extensions?

[Randy Barlow]

Well, I got it to work.  All I had to do it turns out was to use a newer 
version of the nVidia driver.  I run Gentoo, so I was using the driver 
that was available through Portage, but it turns out that this was an 
older driver than is currently available.  So it works now, yay!
