You need the GLX to be supported on the client.  I don't know anything about the 
X Terminal you are using to see if GLX can be added to it.  You can do an 
"xdpyinfo" from the command line to see what extensions your client supports.


>The XF86Config-4 file contains Load glx

This parameter only applies if you use the console I think.
