(Split from Bug 12108.) Having nvidia driver present on the system, even though not the active driver, causes message: "No GLX extension on display 0:0" and consequent inability to display graphics. In xscreensaver, the only hack that still works is the default Mageia one. Even 2D hacks won't start. Totally removing dkms-nvidia-current nvidia-current kernel (and the -latest file) nvidia-current-doc x11-driver-video-nvidia-current fixes the problem. Haven't tested removing those one at a time. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
This particular issue seems fixed by the latest nvidia download in Cauldron, although it still won't work as a driver.

I installed Mga4 64-bit, and had no problems. For other reasons, I reverted to 32-bit. The GLX error doesn't show, but xscreensaver still fails.
Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
