XFree86-DRI missing on display ":0.0"
1 Comment
There are many distributions of Linux available nowadays (RedHat, SUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc) and each has it's own unique quarks & tricks which may need to be implemented to run various software products. For best results we recommend using the RedHat distribution which we use here for development or SUSE; they both appear to be the most complete linux distributions.
From research using Google, this seems to be a fairly common problem with the Ubuntu distribution. Please refer to this link on the Ubuntu Forum:

wharvey@hnlwnh1:/opt/scripts$ ./fab3000
': not a valid identifier: `
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
fab3000 is my startup script:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/numerical/FAB-2008/lib
cd /opt/numerical/FAB3000/
./fabit
When I try it on my macbook (2'nd gen with ATI video) I get an error about a missing nvidia component.
Any idea how to get around this problem?
I found the following in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file:
(II) "dri" will be loaded. This was enabled by default and also specified in the config file.
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(II) Module dri: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
(II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 173.14.12 Thu Jul 17 18:18:16 PDT 2008
(II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1
Sure looks like it should be there...
