I am by no means an expert on this subject, but any time you have an X
server problem, you run "startx -- :1" from a shell. This starts the X
server up on virtual terminal 8. The X server starts dumping out
information, which might be helpful for diagnostics.

Hi,
I've installed the nvidia drivers by the walkthrough of "Gentoo Linux
nVidia Guide". Emerge installed "nvidia-glx v1.0.6629-r6" and
"nvidia-kernel v1.0.6629-r4" with no problems and i did the necessary
changes in the "xorg.conf" file. Then i tested my card with "glxinfo |
grep direct" and "glxgears" and i got errors:
glxinfo | grep direct
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
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on 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".
glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.
Also after a restart gdm couln't start with a X server error:
Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely
that it is not set up correctly...
I searched the net but couldn't find a solution yet. Please help me to
solve this problem, thanks.
