Got it. The /usr/X11R6/lib/ligGL.so.1 file should have been removed as part of the NVidia driver installation. We just confirmed that with the Red Hat 9 and the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run driver distribution. You had version 53.28, so maybe it was a bug in that driver? We had previous installed NVidia version 43.63 using the same mechanism, so it's probably not a problem with the driver, but something went wrong during the installation. You should uninstall and install that driver again (or just upgrade to the 53.36). Good luck, Greg On Mon, 29 Mar 2004, Pattanayek, Sabuj wrote:

I am using RH9.

Chimera checks /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 and /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 to see if they point to the same file or not. If they do not, then that indicates that there was an OpenGL driver installation error -- sometimes resulting in chimera not using the hardware accelerated OpenGL driver.

Could you send the output from:

ls -Ll /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1

I'd like to confirm that they are different. And which version of Linux are your running -- Red Hat 8.0? Mandrake? Suse? Debian? We'd like to try to recreate the problem here.

Finally got around to installing the latest development linux version. At startup I'm getting the following messages:

OpenGL misconfiguration detected. Please reinstall graphics driver.

v1.1872 & v1.1892 still work on the machine with no problems.

The video card on the machine is nvidia quadro 750 xgl running this driver from nvidia's ftp site:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run

I know this is not the latest version of the driver, would upgrading it make a difference?
