I am no longer to run X after upgrading my Mandriva system to Mandreva 2008.i (i586).
During the upgrade process, the Installation process noted my Nvidia graphics chip and asked
me if I wanted Nvidia-specific drivers. I said yes in my innocent belief that the Installation
process knew what to do with the answer.
Now, when I invoke startx it complains with:
dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so
(EE) Failed to load module
"/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so" (loader
failed, 7)
The full output from X is at the end of the email.
I'm a server guy, not a GUI guy. HELP!
THANKS Very, VERY much,
