I have been a windows user for awhile, I recently decided to move to a linux system. the installation went fine and I can get the X window system working fine. I installed Unreal Tournament with the Linnux patch and this installed fine. I have downloaded and installed the Nvidia TNT2 Linux drivers. When I triy to run the game it goes though the loading proccess and get to a point where is says
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
appError called:
Couldn't set vidie mode: Couldn't find mathing GLX visual

I hope that some one here can tell me what will fix this.

Ok first off, you'll need GLX installed on your particular distro. GLX is under development @ http://www.sourforge.net - Did you install MESA as well? If not you will need the MESA library files installed too. You might find all of what you need on your Mandrake CD in either RPM for TAR format.

Let me know if you need help with this any further.

Thanks,

Paul

Tryed using GLX and Mesa like you said but I still had the problem. I think what I'm going to do is get something with Xfree86 4.0 or higher and try that. Thank for the help though.
