Can anyone explain to me what this means? I'm running on an Nvidia 6600 with the version 7184 drivers.

Okay, this is getting to be a repeated event. Did you read the README-linux.txt file? If you didn't, read it, especially section 5. Afterwards, try this I wrote:

Yeah, I went through it. I am running the Nvidia accelerated drivers, and my depth is set to 24.

Looks like it's GLX problems, though. Running glxgears even faiis:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Can't figure out why the glx module won't load. The entry is there in xorg.conf.

OK, got it working now.

Re-installed the NVidia drivers using some ncurses-based utility called "envy". Now it just works.
