Re: [SLUG] Visual Linux Recovery tool ?

[Rod Butcher <rbutcher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the responses guys.. the feedback points me to having mc and 
cfdisk available if I can boot the system, and having something like 
Gnoppix on a bootable disk if I can't. I this this should allow me to 
recover from most disasters.
Now I have another question, when I upgraded the Kernel to 2.6.7.1 via 
the marvellous Mandrake rpm route, applications that us GLX(such as the 
mission-critical flight game gl-117) fail with :-
Info: Using SDL and GLUT
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
I have all the required libmesgl- libraries installed via rpm, and these 
apps worked with "official" mandrake 2.6.3 kernel. Are these GL modules 
kernel/video driver specific ?
thanks
rod
