Direct rendering problem (Solved)

Hi

Seems like I have no Direct rendering here

$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No

Getting this error when installing nvidia:
ERROR: The runtime configuration check failed for the library
       'libGL.so.1.0.8178' (expected: '/usr/lib/libGL.so.1', found:
       '/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1').  The most likely reason for this is that
       conflicting OpenGL libraries are installed in a location not inspected
       by `nvidia-installer`.  Please be sure you have uninstalled any
       third-party OpenGL and/or third-party graphics driver packages.
-> done.
-> Runtime sanity check failed.

How can I fix this?

Try this thread.

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=19401

To summarize:

you error message says /usr/X11R6
well you haven't removed this path from your filesystem,
/usr/X11R6 shouldn't have any file in it and should be removed.
