nvidia's driver just doesn't work fine for my basic X window though it may bring performance for openGL stuff. (ie. if I use nvidia.com's driver, startx will flash a couple of times before the X window is up and the screen is abnormally shifted left a little bit in the end.) So I'm sticking to xfree's nv driver for my X window. I wonder if I can get GLX&DRI work under xfree's driver&modules? currently, the Load "glx" works fine, and I can run glxgears to get 140 FPS, though complaining Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". Also, glxinfo told me Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". I wonder how I can make DRI work for my system (integrated nVidia Vanta card).

And here's my kernel configuration:
Code:
 Processor features --->
   |  | [*] MTRR

 Character devices  --->                                   

  │ │[*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)     
  │ │[ ]   Build drivers for old (XFree 4.0) DRM             
  │ │--- DRM 4.1 drivers                                     
  │ │< >   3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+                             
  │ │< >   ATI Rage 128                                     
  │ │< >   ATI Radeon                                       
  │ │<*>   Intel I810                                       
  │ │[*]     Enabled XFree 4.1 ioctl interface by default   
  │ │< >   Intel 830M                                       
  │ │< >   Matrox g200/g400                                 
  │ │< >   SiS                                               
  │ │< > ACP Modem (Mwave) support                           



And here is the XF86 log:(II) LoadModule: "glx"
Code:

XFree's nv driver does not currently support DRI, nor will it in the near future. One of the DRI devs is planning to work on accelerated 3D for the nv driver once he finishes writing a savage driver, which he started last October. If you want DRI, you'll have to make nVidia's binary drivers work somehow.
