I have never worked with a 520 though, so it might need something else too. Cheers! :)

No Automatix again, for sure.

I figure out that my problem is the Nvidia nforce 520 m2n-x graphics card.
I have a athlon xp 64 3500 duo machine

What to do, where do I get the glx

Automatix is refusing to install the driver for you? You might ask on the Automatix forums, but aside from that, I really don’t encourage the use of Automatix.

Automatix is calling for the failure of this and all other installations.

What to do?

Removing restricted modules and compiling latest Nvidia source worked like a charm for 100.14.09 and recompiled 7.04

Thanks for the details.

The only thing I did not do was to patch the driver to 2.6.20 ( did not realize I had to download the file after half way thru the installation). I just answered yes to all the questions during the nvidia installer. I guess I will post if I get any errors.
Thanks a lot.
