brief story before the question:
on my FC6 box (after direct RH9->FC6 upgrade), using "nv17" and "vesa"
drivers, coot reports
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"

i figure its to do w/:

dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so: undefined symbol:
_glapi_Dispatch
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so

... in Xorg.0.log.
already tried every combination of loading GLcore or glx in xorg.conf, and
yummed xorg-x11-server-Xorg and logout/in.
so i figure i have to (1) yum nvidia or (2) yum livna drivers or (3) use the
commercial package from nvidia.
the internet suggests this choice is effectively irreversible, or a
nightmare.

so do any of these options 'just work' for coot?
any comments appreciated.
