How can I fix this. I get this error when I try to run any of the games and other higher end programs. I have the latest drivers for my 3d card too.

It means you do not have 3D loaded. http://dri.sourceforge.net will have more info for you. If you still need help, provide video card chipset and version of XFree86

Did you follow the nvidia howto, so you've added/uncommented the GLX module line in your /etx/X11/XF86Config?

Actually, he should probably be editting "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"

Perhaps... what it should depend on is if XFree 3.x.x is installed. As long as 3.x.x is installed, then XF86Config pertains to it, and it only. If 4.x.x is installed alongside 3.x.x, then it uses XF86Config-4. If 3.x.x isn't installed, then 4.x.x will by default (the "default" in the sources from xfree86.org, that is) use XF86Config. But some distros (Mandrake 8.1 at least, maybe others) set it up so that you can install 3.x.x if you want, so 4.x.x just uses XF86Config-4 all the time.

Are we all sufficiently confused? ;)

Now that's interesting, I didn't realise that! Thanks bwkaz
