I really doubt you managed to get an X server with no glx extension on debian so make sure that the line:
Load “glx”
appears in the “Module” section. It’s probably just not configured to load the extension you need.

I’ve modified the X file config with Load “glx” but I received this text
(EE) [GLX]: Failed to add GLX extension (NVIDIA XFree86 driver not
found)
Have you compiled/installed the nvidia driver? Just downloading the packages isn’t enough as they’re just installers. You have to run the installer (not sure of the name, ‘nvidia-installer’ I think) and it will download and setup the drivers for X and the kernel.

no I haven’t ‘nvidia-installer’…
but How I compile the package???
Well I’m not sure as I don’t have the debian packages(I have the ones that nvidia ships), but there should be some installation instructions(usually file named INSTALL) in the package or maybe /usr/share/docs.
Do dpkg -L xxx where xxx are the debian package names (nvidia-glx, nvidia-kernel) to see what files they contain and where they are. Look for documentation. Sorry I can’t help out more. I would install the debian packages myself but that means that I’ll have to re download the drivers I have allready downloaded from nvidia(~8MB) so I’ll do it when the drivers get updated.

I’ve readed the documentation, I’ve tried much than one once… but nothing…
isn’t there a debian user that use the opengl libraries???
You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.
If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.
In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.
Well what it means is that the kernel was compiled with a gcc of different version than the one you’re using to compile the driver. So you’ll have to recompile your kernel with your current gcc.
Okkey I’ve setuped all… but after the compilation of NeHe tutorial with SDL, the program create a blank window…
but if I download the Linux version and run it, it work great!!??
why? -:
