Description scott k 2004-04-07 16:55:53 UTC 
The glx module depends on a symbol in the GLcore module.  The GLcore module
depends on a symbol in the glx module.

I found at this URL http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/linux-ia64/0008/0441.html that
someone had already fixed the problem in the following way:

+__GLXcontext *__glXLastContext;

When I added the __GLXcontext *__glxLastContext; line to xf86glx.c and
recompiled, I had no problem loading the GLcore module.
