1 Hi All,
2 Really not a big problem, if problem at all but it's real.
3 For some time couldn't get GLX to work with my nvidia-GF4-440 video
4 card.
5 Initially had to recompile the kernel with the 'new' GCC-3.4.x so
6 nvidia-kernel could load, that solved.
7 The problem is that when running 'glxinfo' or 'glxgears' (as root) PaX
8 kills them (in dmesg output).
9 Not really a problem for me because i don't play games or play once in
10 two-three months period but wish to have GLX ready and working.
11 Don't even 'think' to complain as i'm running hardened with full
12 PaX&grsec2 and have to pay some price, prefer hardened to GLX :)
13 Also using patched Xorg-X11-6.8.0-r1, nvidia-kernel loads and works OK.
14 Now remember to ask also about xorg-x11 'dlloader' USE-flag, saw in one
15 'famous' :) bug it's working now, some feedback?
16 Just wanna ask weather to file a bug or not.
