Hi. I'm fairly new at using linux and I've encountered a problem.
Whenever I try to use any program that uses glx, my X server restarts.
ie google earth, glxinfo, glxgears, etc
I can't even post a copy of glxinfo because X-restarts every time I try to run glxinfo. Everything was working fine a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure what I did to break glx.
Is there any way to get the output from glxinfo when X crashes?
I have a PCI nvidia card : 01:07.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
and lsmod gives
Code:
lsmod |grep nvidia
nvidia 6820404 16
agpgart 27240 1 nvidia
i2c_core 17536 3 saa7134,ir_kbd_i2c,nvidia
my xorg.conf has :
Code:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer

looking at /var/log/syslog All I can find is
Apr 5 15:47:36 localhost mdkapplet[4352]: System is up-to-date
Apr 5 15:47:43 localhost kdm[4167]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly
