Dear Mathieu,

    In the /etc/Xorg.xonf file, glx module is loaded,
Section "Module"
    Load    "glx"
EndSection

    However, when I executed "lsmod | grep glx", nothing appeared. I have
no idea how to add the glx support. My video card is Intel Corporation
82865G Integrated Graphics Controller.
