Someone ate my baby (libglx)!!!

[Mr_Alien_Overlord]

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!

Your distribution? How did you install the driver?

You should try running the "./NVIDIA-Installer --uninstall" as root to delete everything nVidia related, then reinstall the AMD driver.

I wouldn't be using proprietary software if it was that important. Your species doesn't seem too clever to me
