Custom Kernel + Manual Nvidia install = no GLX [SOLVED]

I compile my kernels manually, and am now running the latest.  I just installed the Nvidia driver manually, as it seems I must if I custom compile my own kernels.  I can start X just fine, but have no luck with GLX.

Relevant bit from Xorg.0.log:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)

But the module *does* exist:

[j@uncle_bilbo] ~: ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/
total 960
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     14 2007-06-19 12:11 libGLcore.so -> libGLcore.xorg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  19377 2006-09-19 10:57 libdbe.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  34731 2006-09-19 10:57 libdri.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 148674 2006-09-19 10:57 libextmod.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     11 2007-06-19 12:11 libglx.so -> libglx.xorg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 693960 2007-06-19 11:55 libglx.so.100.14.09
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  28649 2006-09-19 10:57 librecord.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  39072 2006-09-19 10:57 libxtrap.so

I have tried re-installing the mesa and dri lib packages, with no luck.

Any ideas?

Re: Custom Kernel + Manual Nvidia install = no GLX [SOLVED]

ok, libglx.so is a link to the wrong library.
try this:

# cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/
# ln -sf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.100.14.09 libglx.so

You also seem to be missing libGLcore.xorg, but i'm not sure if that's a problem. It's a regular file in the same dir on my drive...

Thank you very much. I should have examined the symlink more carefully.
