GLX Problem

[Backbiter]

I have been trying to get some of the stock xscreensavers to work on my machine. I'm running Slackware 8.1 and I have downloaded and installed the latest XFree86 source according to the PET. Everything seemed to go ok but when I look at the x output log I get the following.

XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 January 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)

I seem to be at a loss on this one and haven't been able to find a lot of info or info that I understand as a new Linux user. Ok you pro Linux folks I would sure appreciate some help...By the way do I need to have the kernel source installed before I install the XFree86 from source? :-\

If you have a look in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 do you have a line that looks like....

# This loads the GLX module
    Load       "glx"

Just a guess... but can't hurt to check.

Good luck.

Most excellent SpookyEddy. It was in the config file but, it was remarked as I just noticed. Working fine now. Thanks and here is what the output looks like now.
