Thanks for the info. I was following the installation instructions in
the README document for FreeBSD, which say:
>>>>>
(sec-03) BASIC CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
[[...]]
Important is the 'Load "glx"' line, which instructs the X server to load
the NVIDIA GLX XFree86 extension module. The "dri" and "GLcore" lines
often present in auto-generated configuration files are not required, but
shouldn't do any harm.
<<<<<
But, after I saw those errors in my XFree86 startup log file I
commented out the ``Load "dri"'' line in my /etc/X11/XF86Config file,
to be parallel with the actual example config section in the README.
I haven't since restarted X, so I don't know if it has made those
errors go away.
Perhaps the README document distributed with the drivers (and on the
WWW page) should be amended to tell people to remove the ``Load
"dri"'' line to be on the safe side?
Cheers,
Paul.
