Cant use OpenGL since the upgrade last week
 
Ok, actually theres two problem heres, the first and main problem is the one described in the title even since I did an upgrade (about a week ago,maybe more) everything I did with OpenGL (Celestia,Doom3 Linux-Native and Wine) causes a X-Server restart and just gives me a black screen (tty1) for a few second then showing me GDM exactly as if I pressed ALT+CTRL+Backspace(X Server Restart) this is an extremely annoying problem due to the fact that i'm a abit of a gamer and although I could handle a few days without my beloved games after a while it gets very annoying. now heres the secound, less annoying problem I switched to Xorg Keyboard setting (to use my ALT+SHIFT language switching) but all my old configurations for my Multimedia keys on my keyboard stopped working (Obviously due to the switch from Gnome of Xorg Keyboard settings) so how do I use those keys? heres the list of the key-code and the desired command... can you please teach me how to enable it?

0x82 - Launch default browsers (or maybe if its possible a special selected browser with path)

0xe8 - Stop Loading the page

0xe7 - Refresh Page (Especially needed inside the Firefox/Iceweasel browser)

EDIT!:

err, it seems that after some thinkering with the Xorg.conf file it 'forgot' its setting and switched back to Gnome keyboard manager and now although the Xorg.conf file was re-configured better then before it doesnt recognizes it cuz of the Gnome dominance... how do I change it back to xorg Kbd?

ok guys I finally found a solution to it by a flux so I dont really know which one fixed it actually, it could be all and it could be just one of em... anyway, first thing I did was enter as root (or su in terminal) and did
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
then I entered into xorg.conf to activate alt+shift then I noticed that my Nvidia drivers got messed up after the reconfigure, since I was too lazy to do the xserver-xorg reconfigure again and since I noticed theres a newer version of the Nvidia drivers I decided to install it... afterwards the problem disappeared. now can someone help me out with the Keyboard prob?
