Desktop effects could not be enabled
 

I installed nvidia drivers via System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers

When I go to enable the "extra" desktop effects, it gives me this error: Desktop effects could not be enabled

I'm on Ubuntu 9.04

I don't think my drivers are installed right.

Whenever I go to the terminal and type: glxgears
It gives me this message:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual


Why are my drivers not working? I swear there installed! When I go to System->Administration->NVIDIA X Server Settings it tells me my NVIDIA driver version is 180.44

Check that the module is loaded:This should return an entry for nvidia.

Look in your xorg.conf file under section "Device" and make sure the driver is "nvidia" and not "nv"

Hey thanks, I fixed it now.
