I got home and realized that I don't know how to get the xorg.conf file |
| 131 |
off of that machine without running an email client from X, so I looked |
| 132 |
through the Xorg.0.log file and saw that it contained no errors, but it |
| 133 |
died trying to load glx. Do I have to recompile glx or something? |
| 134 |
|
| 135 |
I can handcopy the xorg.conf to another machine, so I could do that this |
| 136 |
weekend, if there is not something obvious from the glx failure. |
| 137 |
|
| 138 |
Thanks in advance. |
