AIGLX problem

[ruthik]

I installed FC5 again. Updated my Nvidia driver. Installed Xorg x11 7.1 server. Modified my xorg.conf file shown below. Added the AIGLX repository and did an update. Still no aiglx. When I go to login screen and change the server to AIGLX. I log out and try to log back in and it says that Xair command couldnt be executed. I did a search for Xair and AIGLX in terminal and brought up nothing. What do I need to do to get AIGLX working???
I did an rpm -qa for xair, gdm, and metacity and got this:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa xair
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa metacity
metacity-2.15.0-6
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa gdm
gdm-2.14.9-1
[root@localhost ~]#

Here is my xorg.conf:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder3)  Wed Sep 20 16:56:19 PDT 2006

If anyone has any idea on what is going on, chime in. Maybe Xorg 7.1 comes with aiglx inside it and it just is enabled by default?

I know it is possible to get the eye candy in Xorg 7.1 with direct rendering working...because it works fine in FC6.

Follow the directions in EVERY step and if one fails, backtrack. If a package doesnt install (specifically the rpm sources like libXcomposite...) search it in the yum updates and development repositories and just update/install it from there. By the end, you should be cookin with gas lol.
