All,

I am working with Xen 3.0 (I think, though can someone please tell me how I could verify this!)

I want to install a couple of PVM which I could access with a X-terminal. (I don't know if I am using the correct terminology here, so I will elaborate: I want to start my PVM, ssh to them using the -X option [ssh -X user@pvm_ip] from another machine, and be able to run a command like "glxgears", so that a pop up window showing the gears-animation shows up and the console prints the FPS information).

At this point, I already have a PVM installed running a guest OS with kernel 2.6.24-16-xen. However when I try to install "nvidia-glx" for the glxgears API I get the following error:

----------------
root@xen13:~# sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx

-------------------

 I Googled this error and found a number of suggestions. But all the suggested work-arounds lead me to this same error. What am I missing here?

Do I indeed need to install nvidia-glx on my PVM ?
Any advice would be helpful!
