Thank you

glxinfo gave me the following error message:

X Error of failed request: BadReqiest (invalid request code or no such
operation)

Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Current serial number in output stream: 14

I _have_ installed OpenGL and used glxinfo as a user, not as
root...athough root gives the same error.

Do you by chance have a graphics card like an ATI or a switchable
graphics? I have this problem after I installed the proprietary drivers if
I try to use something other than the proprietary drivers. for some reason
the proprietary drivers, in their default installation, mess with the
others. I don't know how it does that, but it does. So, you might want to
make sure that your X Windows setup is really what you think it is.

I have an ASUS EAH4350 which has an ATI Radeon HD4350 chip. When I
posted initially I was using the radeonhd driver...and before that the
radeon driver and I am now using the ATI proprietary driver.

I have "fixed" the problem by changing the compositing method to
XRender. Changing to XRender did not initially work. However, should
this not work also with OpenGL?

I am having another problem with regard to keystroke repetition. If I
enter a keystroked, say 'a', on kwrite (I haven't tried any of the other
text editors) and in a terminal and on firefox, I get three a's 'aaa'. I
have a workaround for it: Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" in the
ServerLayout section of xorg.conf, but this seems to me to be overkill.
Perhaps I should post that as a new problem.

Keep in mind that Xrender only provides a subset of the effects available
to you when you use OpenGL.

That's why you're getting those errors then. Those errors will only show
up when you are not running the DRI enabled ATI Proprietary driver with
the correct kernel modules loaded. In other words, the OpenGL errors that
you see indicate to me that you don't have a working proprietary driver
configuration. Did you follow the ATI instructions and build the Slackware
packages? Did you then follow the post-install message and run aticonfig
with the appropriate encantation to replace your xorg.conf?
