Problem with GLX module

Hello,

I have a nvidia card and I run the latest nvidia 275xx driver.

When I check glxinfo I get this message:

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

I was searching for the problem and found these lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

[    13.925] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/COPIES/libglx.so
[    13.925] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/COPIES/libglx.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/COPIES/libglx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[    13.925] (EE) LoadModule: Module glx does not have a glxModuleData data object.
[    13.925] (II) UnloadModule: "glx"

I think it is strange there is a map named COPIES where xorg searches for libglx.so.  I checked and it exist even as libglx.so.  libglx.so is a symbolic link that points to libglx.so.275.09.07

I don't understand what is the problem.  Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks in advance

Re: Problem with GLX module

Did you create the COPIES directory yourself? I recall that we once had such instruction in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … oldid=prev

Nope,

it is a fresh arch linux install.  My previous arch install was 4 years old so I decided to do a new one as a lot of things changed and there where a lot of apps that didn't work anymore or gave a lot of error messages...

Ok,

I checked the packages and checked which files nvidia and nvidia utils needed concerning opengl.  I deleted the COPIES directory and installed all the files on the location as they appear in the package.

Now it's working fine.
Thanks
