A while back I got me a shiny new Nvidia 8600GT to spiff up my KDE4 experience...and entered into a whole world of pain.
Eventually pain trumped money and I just defected to camp ATI with a shiny new VisionTek HD4870.
Trouble is that after going through numerous installs of the Catalyst 8.7 and xorg configs I still keep getting:
"(EE) fglrx: Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) fglrx(0): Failed to load GLX module.
(EE) fglrx(0): XMM failed to open CMMQS connection."
2d performance similar to VESA and no 3d. Disabling composite changes nothing.
A quick look at some of the places I've seen listed that *should* have libglx. didn't have it. One had Nvidia's libglx.so.173.14.12.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this / get back libglx.so?
Is Nvidia *still* managing to screw up my computer even though I'm now on ATI?
Any suggestions / conspiracy theories appreciated!
