The GLX widgets were added to XFree in version 4.0.1f. Now you have 4.0.1g in
rufus, that also includes GLw and many more bug fixes. The 'bad' news are
that I think it requires glibc2.2. But I have upgraded to glibc2.2 and all
seems to work fine. You need a good session of rpm upgrading, but at the
end all works fine. Now I am running Performer and Inventor on an up-to-date
cooker system (glibc22, gcc2.96, XFree401g). Seems to be stable (last night
I left town.perfly running for a couple hours...).
Note: Mesa included in XFree is 3.4. That forces to make some changes to
Inventor to compile, but that is subject for one other mail...
